Governor Brian Sandoval awarded UNLV the trophy at June’s state Board of Regents meeting in Reno. The Rebels won the all-encompassing competition with Nevada, Reno with a dominating score of 37.5 to 10.5. In 2012 Sandoval announced the launch of the historic competition establishing a formal head-to-head athletic and academic challenge between longtime rivals -- the Rebels and Wolf Pack. In the first year of competition, the Rebels earned three points in volleyball, swimming and diving, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s golf, softball, outdoor track and field and baseball, plus 1.5 points as the women’s soccer team tied UNR. UNLV’s final three points came from having higher Academic Progress Rate numbers in a majority of sports.

MOUNTAIN WEST THIS IS THE MOUNTAIN WEST

The Mountain West was conceived on May 26, 1998, when the presidents of eight institutions — Air Force, BYU, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, Utah and Wyoming — decided to form a new NCAA Division I intercollegiate athletic conference. The split from a former 16-team conference re-established continuity and stability among the membership within the new league and signaled the continuation of its tradition-rich, long-standing athletic rivalries. Three of the MW’s eight original members have been conference rivals since the 1960s (New Mexico, Wyoming and Colorado State), while San Diego State (1978) and Air Force (1980) were longtime members as well. UNLV entered the fold in 1996 and the Rebels continued as one of the original eight institutions that formed the MW in 1999. With conference realignment sweeping the nation in recent years, the MW has been proactive in addressing membership changes. Boise State joined the Mountain West in 2011, followed by Fresno State and Nevada, Reno in 2012. That’s the same year that the University of Hawai‘i became a football-only member of the Conference. On July 1, 2013, the Mountain West further expanded when San Jose State and Utah State joined, bringing to 11 the number of full-time member institutions and 12 football-playing members. The Mountain West is noted for its geographic diversity. Some of the most beautiful terrain and landscapes in the nation can be found within Mountain West boundaries, including the majestic Rocky Mountain range, which borders five MW institutions (Air Force, Boise State, Colorado State, New Mexico and Utah State). The high plains of Wyoming (elevation 7,220 feet – the highest Division I campus in the nation) contrast with the desert cities of Las Vegas and Reno, home to UNLV and Nevada, Reno, respectively, while Fresno State, San Diego State and San Jose State add a West Coast influence with their locations in Central, Southern and Northern California. The inclusion of the Hawai‘i football program extends the Mountain West footprint to the beautiful islands in the Pacific Ocean. Mountain West members have participated in 56 bowl games under the league umbrella, including four appearances in BCS games. The MW has earned 68 postseason bids in men’s basketball, including 38 NCAA Tournament appearances and two NIT Final Four berths. MW women’s basketball has tallied 60 postseason slots, including 32 NCAA bids, five Sweet 16 appearances and one Elite Eight berth since 2000. The MW has produced 793 All-America selections among its 18 sponsored sports (men’s swimming was discontinued as a Conference sport following the 2010-11 season) in the last 14 years. A total of 131 MW student-athletes have also earned Academic All-America accolades in that span. The league has captured three team national championships in women’s cross country and produced 33 individual national champions.

MOUNTAIN WEST FOOTBALL Entering the 2013 season, the MW has six contracted bowl affiliations – the Las Vegas Bowl, San Diego Country Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl, Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl, Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl, Famous Potato Idaho Bowl and Gildan New Mexico Bowl. In 2012, the MW sent a record five teams to bowl games for the sixth consecutive year, while Boise State closed out the 2012 season ranked among the top 15 nationally for the fifth straight season, finishing 14th in the Coaches’ poll and 18th in the AP poll. An innovator in the postseason bowl structure, the MW engineered many “firsts,” as league teams have participated in five inaugural bowl games (2000 Silicon Valley, 2001 New Orleans, 2002 San Francisco, 2005 Poinsettia, 2006 New Mexico), as well as placing the first non-automatic-qualifying BCS team into a BCS bowl game with Utah’s appearance in the 2005 Fiesta Bowl. When San Diego State’s Stephen Strasburg became the top pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, the Mountain West became one of only two conferences to have the No. 1 selection in each of the NFL, NBA and MLB drafts since the league’s founding in 1999.

Craig Thompson was the Mountain West Conference’s first employee when he was named Commissioner on Oct. 15, 1998. Ever since, Thompson has navigated the newest NCAA Division I conference through the ever-changing landscape of intercollegiate athletics. As the league enters its 15th season of competition in 2012-13, Thompson continues to create and improve the opportunities for Mountain West institutions and student-athletes to be successful both academically and athletically. Since the Mountain West opened its doors on Jan. 4, 1999, Thompson has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Progressive in its approach, the MW has flourished under the guidance of Commissioner Thompson and continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. As conference realignment spread throughout the collegiate landscape over the past few years, Thompson positioned the Mountain West for the future with the additions of Fresno State and the University of Nevada, Reno on July 1, 2012, and San Jose State University and Utah State University on July 1, 2013. The University of Hawai‘i also joined the league as a football-only member in 2012. His leadership and vision have helped the conference enhance its television revenue and exposure through revolutionary agreements with CBS Sports Network, Comcast and ESPN, including becoming the first major collegiate athletic conference to launch a dedicated sports channel featuring exclusive programming around its athletic programs. Thompson has been instrumental in strengthening the position of the Mountain West in the current Bowl Championship Series (BCS) structure. In 2006, he spearheaded an effort that resulted in better access for the MW and more than doubled the annual BCS revenue on an annual basis for non-automatic-qualifying conferences. Through its first 14 years of competition, the Mountain West has participated in 56 bowl games, amassing a 32-24 (.571) all-time record in those contests. Over the last nine seasons, the MW has captured the Bowl Challenge Cup four times and owns the second-best win percentage in bowl games among the 10 FBS conferences with a 25-16 mark (.610). Prior to his current role, Thompson served as the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference for nearly eight years and as the only commissioner of the American South Conference prior to the merger of the two leagues in 1991. Thompson graduated from the University of Minnesota with an undergraduate degree in journalism. Following graduation, he spent two years as assistant sports information director at Kansas State University. He then spent three years as director of public relations and promotions for the NBA’s Kansas City Kings. Thompson and his wife, Carla, have a son (Ted) and a daughter (Emma).

BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

The games participating in the Bowl Championship Series are the Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl, Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl. In addition, the BCS National Championship Game will be played at one of the bowl sites. The eighth and final title game under this format will be played Jan. 6, 2014, at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena. The Rose Bowl will be played in the same stadium five days earlier. Any Bowl Subdivison team is eligible for at-large consideration. Automatic BCS qualifiers are: No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the final BCS standings; champions of the AAC, Big Ten, SEC, Pac-12, Big 12 and ACC; Notre Dame (if it finishes in the top eight) and a non-automatic qualifying BCS team that finishes in the top 14, or in the top 16 if it is ahead of a BCS champion. The Mountain West is 3-1 in BCS games after 2011’s Rose Bowl victory by TCU over Wisconsin. 2014 BCS SCHEDULE January 1 – Rose Bowl January 1 – Fiesta Bowl January 2 – Sugar Bowl January 3 – Orange Bowl January 6 – BCS National Championship Game The Mountain West will look to participate in a BCS game for the fourth time in the last six years in the 2013 season.

MW FOOTBALL IN THE POSTSEASON

For the sixth consecutive year, the Mountain West sent five teams into postseason bowl games in 2012. The conference has earned 56 bowl bids since 1999 and holds a 32-24 all-time record in those contests, including a 13-4 mark against BCS automatic-qualifying conferences since 2004. The MW has finished with a winning record in the postseason in five of the last seven years. Since 2003, the MW owns the second-best win percentage in bowl games among the 10 FBS conferences with a 25-16 mark (.610). Over the last nine seasons, the MW has captured the Bowl Challenge Cup four times and is the only conference to win the trophy more than twice since the award’s inception in 2002-03. The Bowl Challenge Cup was created by ESPN as a competition among the conferences in the FBS during the bowl season. In order to win the trophy, a conference must have the highest win percentage with a minimum of three teams participating in the postseason. The Mountain West earned its first Bowl Challenge Cup with a 2-1 bowl record in the 2004-05 season. The league also won the Cup in 2007-08 and 2009-10 with identical 4-1 marks. In 2010-11, the MW again claimed the Cup after finishing with a 4-1 postseason mark .

SAM BOYD STADIUM

S

tanding as one of the top college football facilities in all the West is UNLV’s versatile venue Sam Boyd Stadium. Undergoing a complete facelift and renovation during 1999, Sam Boyd expanded to its present capacity of 36,800 (with the ability to seat more than 40,000 when called for). Located in Las Vegas approximately seven miles from both the UNLV campus and McCarran International Airport, Sam Boyd Stadium successfully combines the excitement of a college football stadium and the versatility of an entertainment arena. The Rebel football team has posted a 1391114-3 record in 41-plus seasons playing there, including in front of a record three sellout crowds in 2007. SBS marked its 25th anniversary in 1996 by hosting the state’s thenlargest-ever sporting crowd on Sept. 14 when 41,091 fans witnessed UNLV take on Wisconsin. That total was surpassed just three months later when 41,238 saw BYU get past Wyoming in the first WAC Championship game. That record was re-written once more when 42,075 fans saw the Badgers return to face the Rebels on Aug. 31, 2002. The 2006 Las Vegas Bowl ultimately upped the record to 44,615 in a game between BYU and Oregon. The stadium has hosted some of the greatest talents in sports and show business. Future NFL quarterbacks Randall Cunningham, Jim McMahon, Drew Bledsoe, Carson Palmer, Andre Ware, Alex Smith, John Beck, Andy Dalton, Colin Kaepernick and Kellen Moore are among those who have played at Sam Boyd Stadium along with events involving athletes such as soccer legend Pele and motor sports stars. Additionally, the stadium has hosted world-class concerts by such musical acts as the Dave Matthews Band, the Eagles, U2, Paul McCartney, Wayne Newton, and the once-annual summer appearances by the Grateful Dead. A mecca for football played on all levels, the stadium is currently site of the Las Vegas Bowl each December, including six sold-out crowds in the last eight years, after serving as home to three Western Athletic

14 14

Conference championship games from 1996-98. The facility has served as host to professional football three times, including housing the two-time United Football League champion Las Vegas Locomotives in 2009-10. The Las Vegas Outlaws of the XFL made it their home in 2001; and the Las Vegas Posse, a Canadian Football League franchise, played one season in 1994. SBS also hosts high school games and has been site of the state’s prep championship. The venue also hosted two other college football events: the Silver Dollar Classic, which featured teams from historically black universities, and the Las Vegas All-American Classic all-star game from 2003-05. Originally named Las Vegas Stadium when it was built in 1971 at a cost of $3.5 million, the facility was re-named the Las Vegas Silver Bowl in 1978 and then known as the Sam Boyd Silver Bowl in honor of local gaming pioneer Sam Boyd beginning in 1984. Its name was officially shortened to Sam Boyd Stadium in April 1994. The first event held in the then15,000-seat stadium was a UNLV football game against Weber State on Oct. 23, 1971, won by the visiting Wildcats, 30-17. Official dedication ceremonies, however, took place the next season on Sept. 9, 1972, at halftime of a 35-28 loss to Western Illinois before 8,800 fans. SBS, which has always retained its horseshoe shape, underwent an expansion to 32,000 seats in 1978 and again enjoyed improvements in 1994. The Rebel Experience area outside the stadium opened in 1997. One of the highlights of the most recent renovation was the replacement of the so-called “Magic Carpet” retractable artificial turf that had been in place since 1985. Originally fitted with traditional AstroTurf, Sam Boyd was the first stadium in the world to install a Monsanto Corp. outdoor retractable turf, which helped give the facility its multi-purpose capability. The surface, which simply rolled up into cylinders in less than an hour, was installed at a cost of $1.2 million in part through a grant by the Sam Boyd family. Natural grass replaced the artificial turf from 1999-2002 before a synthetic surface, made by TurfTech, was installed in time for the 2003 season.

UNLV CHEERLEADERS & DANCE TEAM

Two of the nation’s best-known spirit squads, the UNLV Cheerleaders and the UNLV Dance Team (Rebel Girls) are fixtures at all Rebel football games. The teams perform at various UNLV athletic events and volunteer their time to appear at various events throughout the Las Vegas community. The Cheer Team also devotes time to instructing the UNLV Rebel Starzz – a group of young dancers ages 3-16 that performs at games each fall.

THE REBEL EXPERIENCE

Premiering at Sam Boyd Stadium in 1997 was the Rebel Experience. Situated in the northwest parking lot, the 64,000-square-foot-area is predominantly grass and includes six 30x60-foot cement pads that can be reserved for large gatherings and corporate outings. UNLV FIGHT SONG

“WIN WITH THE REBELS” Win with the Rebels a victory today! Win with the Rebels, the Scarlet and Gray. From mountains that surround you to far across the sea. We’ll win with the Rebels of UNLV. U-N-L-V UNLV Go, Fight, Win. We’ll win with the Rebels of UNLV.

THE STAR OF NEVADA MARCHING BAND

Numbering more than 100 strong, the Star of Nevada Marching Band, which began in its present form in 1978, is a big part of Rebel Football Gameday. Whether it’s pumping up the crowds at the Rebel Experience or entertaining fans at halftime, home Saturdays at Sam Boyd Stadium would not be the same without strains of “Win with the Rebels” peppering the autumn air. Directed by Tony LaBounty, the UNLV band is announced by Dr. Harvey Allen who in 2013 goes into his 35th season as the voice of the Star of Nevada Marching Band. UNLV ALMA MATER

Alma Mater, we praise you For spirit, the eternal flame, Strength which never falters, A tribute to your name Alma Mater, we thank you, Exalted Scarlet and Gray. Truth and wisdom from your standard In our minds and hearts will stay Alma Mater, we cherish you. And in our days that are yet to be, Our voices let us ever raise In honor, U-N-L-V.

THE FREMONT CANNON

Trophy Helps Illustrate Importance of State Rivalry

Not simply a traveling trophy for the winner of the UNLV vs. Nevada, Reno game, the Fremont Cannon is ever-present at the now-annual Battle for Nevada. The tradition of awarding the cannon to the victors started four decades ago when the Rebels’ first football coach, Bill Ireland, felt the young rivalry between the north and south schools could use a symbolic trophy to stimulate interest. The prize turned out to be a replica of the howitzer used by John C. Fremont, one of America’s foremost trailblazers, as he headed west into Nevada in 1843. Legend has it that Fremont violated U.S. War Department rules by taking the cannon with him on his westward trek without permission and then abandoned the weapon in a SierraNevada snowdrift. Built by the Kennecott Copper Corp., Nevada Mines Division, the cannon was originally valued at more than $10,000 and is considered one of the best, and heaviest, symbols of rivalry in college football. The Fremont is one of only two cannon prizes in all rivalry games, along with Illinois vs. Purdue. The Wolf Pack held the cannon first because they had beaten the Rebels 30-28 in the initial game of the series on Thanksgiving Day 1969. UNLV promptly won rights to the big gun in 1970 with a 42-30 home win and went on to dominate the series with eight wins in the next 11 games played. After UNR rebounded to win five straight games (1989-1993), UNLV regained the cannon in its Silver Anniversary Year in 1994. Last year’s UNR win put the Wolf Pack ahead 23-15 in the series, which has been continuous since 1987. The teams will meet again in Reno on Oct. 26, 2013, to decide who gets to keep the fabled cannon.

A familiar sound to UNLV fans of all ages, Dick Calvert, the “Voice of the Rebels,” is in his fifth decade as the game announcer for UNLV Athletics. Calvert, who calls UNLV football, basketball, men’s & women’s soccer, baseball games and other events at Sam Boyd Stadium, Thomas & Mack Center, Cox Pavilion, Peter Johann Memorial Field, and Earl E. Wilson Stadium, has also served as the game announcer of the Mountain West basketball tournament, the Las Vegas Bowl and the NBA Vegas Summer League. Additionally, the longtime university staffer, works many MW Championships hosted by UNLV and is the official starter for a number of university and NCAA golf tournaments. Calvert annually works over 100 local events. He was inducted into the Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame in June 2010. The former play-by-play broadcaster is also one of the most experienced commentators of American professional soccer, having served 18 seasons in both the North American and Major Soccer leagues. The Las Vegas resident retired from broadcasting and the UNLV Athletics Department after serving as the director of broadcasting, director of athletic marketing for Olympic sports and director of athletic facilities/operations. Calvert and his wife Anne have four adult children and are the proud grandparents of 10.

HEY REB

Embodying the Rebel spirit of the University he promotes, UNLV’s Hey Reb made his debut in 1983 and received a makeover in 1997. Named one of 12 All-American Mascots, he competed for the title of 2004 Capital One Mascot of the Year and made a strong showing by coming in second in online voting. No stranger to national television, however, Hey Reb has appeared in two memorable ESPN SportsCenter commercials and multiple LG TV ads (pictured, right) during March Madness 2013.

REBEL HISTORY

O

pened as a satellite campus in 1957, the southern regional division of the University of Nevada became Nevada Southern University in 1965 and finally evolved into University of Nevada, Las Vegas four years later when the Board of Regents granted it autonomy under the state’s higher education system. Men’s basketball was the first sport organized at UNLV, opening play in 1958 under head coach and athletic director Michael “Chub” Drakulich. Baseball, also coached by Drakulich, started in 1960 and football came to campus nearly a decade later when head coach Bill Ireland’s squad went 8-1 in 1968. Women’s club sports such as tennis emerged in 1960 under administrator Alice Mason but basketball became the first women’s varsity sport in 1974. UNLV currently sponsors seven men’s and 10 women’s athletic programs.

NICKNAME

The nickname “Rebels” was given to UNLV athletic teams because the school, emerging from the shadow of the University of Nevada, Reno, in effect “rebelled” against its bigger and older brother to the north. The name “Runnin’ Rebels” (always spelled without a ‘g’) was coined in 1974 by then-sports information director Dominic Clark but refers only to the UNLV men’s basketball team.

COLORS

The school colors of Scarlet and Gray can be traced to the late-1950s when UNLV adopted as mascot a wolf wearing a Confederate uniform. Scarlet and Gray were traditional colors of the Confederacy with its gray uniforms and red-based flag.

MASCOT

Today it’s Hey Reb but some at UNLV still remember the first official Rebel mascot — Beauregard. Dressed in a gray military field jacket and Confederate cap, Beau is a fanged, winking, black and white cartoon wolf. He came to be because the new school in Southern Nevada wanted to take a little jab at the Wolf Pack mascot of Nevada, Reno. “UNLV was rebelling against the status quo and the two schools’ mascots seemed to mimic the Civil War,” said former UNLV president, the late, Don Baepler, who later directed the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Natural History on campus. “Reno had a northern looking wolf so we wanted a Confederate wolf.”

1818

The logo lasted until the early 1970s when a group of black athletes came to Baepler, who was academic vice president at the time, and voiced its displeasure with having a mascot that had a connection with the wrong side of the Civil War. “They said it didn’t feel right playing for a school with such a mascot...and I agreed,” said Baepler. “Southern Nevada has no real ties to the Confederacy so the change wasn’t a big concern.” The student senate voted on a new mascot and the human Rebel logo was born. Initially, a Colonial-like Rebel soldier was the official logo and there was talk at one time of changing UNLV’s nickname to Minutemen. Essentially there was no recognized UNLV mascot for about a half-decade spilling into the early 1980s. Enter Mike Miller, the award-winning local graphic artist who eventually became the creator of the cartoon man with a long moustache known as Hey Reb. Miller, who was inducted into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame in 2012, said his inspiration for the logo was historical Nevada frontiersmen from the 1800s such as John C. Fremont and Kit Carson. “The character is supposed to be a trailblazer of the old West,” said Miller. “I just sketched out a little mountain man with a long coat that had some fringe on it.” Despite the new Rebel eventually being displayed as having striking white hair on his head and face, Miller said Hey Reb was never supposed to be an old man and put his intended age at around 30 years old. As for the unusual name of the new character, there was no campus contest or high-priced marketing focus group involved. “I just wrote Hey Reb on the back of his coat on one of the many variations I gave them,” he said. “I was hoping it would be a good slogan – a yell-out cheer at games – but it never really caught on.” The mascot, however, did catch on in a big way as UNLV vaulted to the top in college apparel licensing within the decade. In 1997, a more muscular version of Hey Reb, minus a musket, was introduced and a refreshed version was developed in 2006. Beauregard may not be prevalent in today’s UNLV athletic events, but he’s certainly not gone and forgotten. The original sketch of the wolf was converted into a mid-court painting for basketball games played in the old University gymnasium. Today, visitors can visit the black, white, scarlet and gray logo circle in its original position at what is now the Barrick Museum, which still uses the existing oak hardwood basketball floor to hold its exhibits.

TIMMY TOUCHDOWN IS CENTURY MARK LEADER

Running back Tim Cornett will start the 2013 season as the leading active FBS running back with 11 career 100-yard rushing games. Only a pair of quarterbacks has more among all returning players. Cornett, who last fall turned in eight century mark efforts, became the first Rebel to lead the team in rushing three consecutive seasons since Michael Morton in 1979-81. The Texan is looking to become the first-ever UNLV player to pace the team on the ground for four years. CAREER 100-YARD RUSHING GAMES (Active FBS Players): 1. Jordan Lynch, Sr., QB, Northern Illinois 14 2. Taylor Martinez, Sr., QB, Nebraska 13 3. Tim Cornett, Sr., RB, UNLV 11 4. Antonio Andrews, Sr., RB, Western Kentucky 10 Silas Redd, Sr., RB, USC 10

Bowling League

UNLV is one of 17 FBS schools tied for seventh for the most bowl teams on its 2013 schedule with nine. Akron, from the Mid-American Conference, is the only other program from a nonauto-bid league to have at least nine such teams on its upcoming slate. Rebel opponents who went bowling last year are: Minnesota (Meineke Car Care Bowl), Arizona (New Mexico), Central Michigan (Little Caesars), Fresno State (Hawaii), Nevada, Reno (New Mexico), San Jose State (Military), Utah State (Famous Idaho Potato), Air Force (Armed Forces) and San Diego State (Poinsettia).

55 REDUX

Fans may do a double take when a linebacker named Lotulelei takes the field wearing jersey No. 55 this fall. That’s because UNLV’s top player from a year ago, first team All-MW honoree John Lotulelei (pictured, left), left for the NFL after signing a freeagent deal with the Seattle Seahawks. However, John’s younger brother, Tau Lotulelei (pictured, right), walked on to the team a year ago and redshirted but coaches saw enough positives during spring from the fellow-linebacker to award him his brother’s number and list him atop the depth chart at WLB.

CANADIAN CREW

In 2011, OT Brett Boyko became the first player to join the program from North of the Border since walk-on Andrew Dubiellak lettered as a receiver in 2000 and ‘01. However, UNLV now sports a trio of Canadians on its roster as Boyko’s since been joined by redshirt freshman Tom Clarkson (British Columbia) along the Rebel offensive line and newcomer Shaquille Murray-Lawrence (Ontario), who is a RB from Tyler JC. Last year, there were 46 Canadians playing FBS football across the United States and 11 schools had more than one on their active roster. Eastern Michigan and Virginia led the way with four Canucks each. Boyko, however, does have the distinction of being the only current player on the FBS level to attend high school in the province of Saskatchewan.

FINNISH PRODUCTS

One category UNLV is the all-time leader in among FCS teams is scholarship players from Finland. Max Ehlert, who will contend for the starting spot at MLB as a senior this fall, signed with the Rebels last season out of Chabot College in Hayward, Calif. That’s the same school that produced 2013 signee C.J. Backlund, who is expected to serve as backup center. Both Finns played for the Helsinki Roosters American Football club team back home and while it is difficult to track, they make up half of only four Finnish players to ever earn a FBS scholarship, according to American Football International Review.

BATTLE BORN After spending his first four years on campus

wearing No. 95, senior Alex Klorman has become the first defensive lineman to earn the honor of wearing Battle Born Jersey No. 36 for the Rebels. Born and raised in Las Vegas, the graduate of Del Sol High School walked on to the UNLV program in 2009 and earned his first letter one year later and eventually earned a full scholarship. In 2012 he posted a careerhigh 34 total tackles, including his second career sack. Head Coach Bobby Hauck, who began the tradition at UNLV in 2010, announced at the beginning of spring practice that Klorman would be the fourth Battle Born honoree. In 1864, Nevada became the 36th state to enter the union, and the state’s nickname, which appears on the flag, is “Battle Born,” reflecting the state’s entry on the Union side during the American Civil War. Rebel Football Jersey No. 36 -- complete with a patch on the back of the state flag -- is worn annually by a Nevadan who best exemplifies the Battle Born spirit of his state and the toughness and pride of Rebel Football.

REBELATIONS...

With UNLV’s season-opening game at Minnesota moving to a weekday (Aug. 29), the Rebels will play their 15th Thursday game in history. The program boasts an 8-6 record on Thursdays (including one bowl game) and an impressive overall non-Saturday record of 14-8-1. It will mark only the third Big Ten Conference stadium visited by the Rebels (five trips to Wisconsin and one visit to Northwestern in 1998). The Rebels will also play one MW game on a Thursday night when they travel to Air Force on Nov. 21 … Of the 16 players that caught at least one pass for the Rebels in 2012, 12 of them are back in 2013. In fact, UNLV returns 91 percent of its receiving yards (2,587 of 2,845 yards) and 89 percent of its receiving touchdowns (16 of 18), led by starters Devante Davis (854 yards and four TDs) and Marcus Sullivan (659 and four) ... Sophomore QB Nick Sherry’s debut season in 2012 saw him tie the school record for completions in a game with 33 vs. Washington State and later set the school’s freshman record for completion percentage in a game with a 23-for-32 day (.719) vs. Air Force. Sherry’s total of 2,544 yards passing not only ranked seventh in UNLV single-season history but also fourth by any freshman in Mountain West history … Senior Nolan Kohorst, who has been the Rebels’ starting place-kicker since stepping on campus three seasons ago, needs 72 more points in 2013 to tie former RB Mike Thomas’ record for career points at UNLV with 240, which was set in 1974. Kohorst earned first team All-MW honors a year ago after nailing a career-best 12 of 14 field-goal attempts en route to leading the team with 68 points … The fourth year of the Bobby Hauck era brings two prominent new faces to the coaching staff as former Washington State star quarterback and NFL starter with the Cardinals, Timm Rosenbach, and former longtime NFL player Tim Hauck took over as offensive and defensive coordinators, respectively, in time for spring practice. Rosenbach, who came in seventh in the 1988 Heisman Trophy voting while in Pullman, spent last season directing the offense at the University of Montana. Hauck, who is the younger brother of the head coach, was an up-and-coming secondary coach in the NFL, spending last year with the Cleveland Browns, T. Hauck Rosenbach before coming back to college.

ny story previewing this year’s edition of the UNLV football team could include some terms considered quite rare in these parts. Indeed, key descriptions of any gridiron roster such as “experienced,” “deep” and “big and strong” haven’t really applied to the Rebels since Hall of Fame Coach John Robinson roamed the sidelines. True, scholarship seniors are still a minority in this program (just 10 three-year letterwinners dot the 2013 roster) but the Rebels list the most returning starters in the Mountain West (nine on each side of the ball, plus a kicker) and actually boast more combined starts from last fall (a total of 250) than any team in college football. Yes, this is all part of what fourth-year head coach Bobby Hauck has been working for during three two-win seasons. A team that is finally flirting to reach the 85-scholarship limit for the first time in about a decade has produced a depth chart that is more settled than ever at this point on the calendar. “We don’t have a lot of seniors but we do have a lot of upperclassmen on our two-deep and we’re not having to wait until August to produce a fairly accurate depth chart,” says Hauck. “None of these guys should feel too secure -- they know they’re competing every day -- but I will say it’s nice to have the ability to come out of spring without a bunch of unknowns. We know what they can do and where they fit. I’m much more comfortable with this team than I’ve been at any point here. We know what we’ve got and we feel pretty good about it.” Asked if the fact that the team includes just three returning players that signed scholarships under the previous staff will make a difference, Hauck says the important change in the roster is really more a product of time. “We’ve got guys who have now spent two to three years in a college weight room so they look different than they did when they were freshmen. When they come out of high school, they shouldn’t look the same as they do in their fourth or fifth year here and that’s the case. We’re getting to where we can be physically competitive in the Mountain West. It’s also about growing and maturing physically and having the ability to hold up to the demands of the game. You look up and down the depth chart and the guys on it look different than the past. We are maturing into a good-looking team.” Another noticeable change on the sidelines comes in the form of new coordinators. Former college star and NFL quarterback Timm Rosenbach took over the offense while former longtime NFL safety and rising pro assistant coach Tim Hauck, who is the younger brother of the head man, now handles the defense. “They’re both good guys and they know what they’re doing,” says Hauck of the new blood. “Both Timm and Tim blended with the staff quickly. The transition has been seamless and we’re excited to see the way they are going to call the game.” Hauck says even though UNLV will face nine bowl teams this fall, optimism abounds at Rebel Park. “We didn’t win enough games last year but this group has the right attitude and we continue to become much more competitive as a team. We have a huge test to kick off the season. We’ve got two major-conference schools (Minnesota and Arizona) and then another bowl team (Central Michigan), which means we’ll have our hands full to start the year. But we have the makings of a good team. We’re more veteran. We don’t have all kinds of newcomers having to play. We’ve developed depth so we’re not replacing freshmen with other freshmen. “Our guys are secure in the knowledge that they’re pretty competitive within this conference. We know the league now and feel that we’ll be highly competitive within the Mountain West, which is where we’ve been trying to get to. I believe that we are on the cusp of some really good seasons here.”

THE OFFENSE UNLV is in the enviable position of returning every skill player and most of the front in 2013. That should help the Rebels bump up their passing game while continuing to be effective on the ground. “We made strides this spring,” says Hauck. “Part of that was because all but three players that played on our offense last year were freshmen and sophomores. We now look the part up front. I think our running backs will be a strength. If our young quarterbacks keep evolving and improving, they will be a strength for us as well. Certainly we have to throw the ball and our receivers and tight ends, though young, show great promise. We will only have one senior starter as it sits now, but they are experienced.” A year ago, the Rebels finished with 468 pass attempts while running it 452 times. Hauck says that split is just about right in his staff’s eyes. “We want balance,” he says. “You have balance -- you have the ability to control the game.”

tied the Rebel mark for completions in a game with 33 against Wazzu and his 16 TD passes were the most by a UNLV QB since 2008. The bad news came in the interception column with 17 -- but look for that number to trend downward in year two under center for the good-sized signal caller. Former starter Caleb Herring (6-3, 200, SR-3L—301 passing yards) split time as a receiver in 2012 but is back working more behind center after spring ball. Redshirt freshman Troy Hawthorne (6-3, 185, FR-RS), who is the fastest of the three, now has a spring practice on his resume to help make the overall position much deeper than a year ago.

QUARTERBACKS

Returnee Nick Sherry (6-5, 235, SO-1L) was on target to easily break the Mountain West record for most passing yards by a freshman before he was slowed by injury late in 2012. His 2,544 yards in 12 games still ranked fourth in league history and seventh on UNLV’s single-season list for any passer. He also

HAUCK SAYS: “Nick Sherry had a good spring. He improved, which is what you’d expect for a guy moving from a freshman to a sophomore. Troy Hawthorne showed vast improvement and needs to continue on that path. Caleb Herring has the ability to come in and contribute at any time. We’re going to use him whenever we can wherever we can. He’s a good fit in that regard because of his attitude and his understanding of the game.”


RUNNING BACKS

Last year, tailback Tim Cornett (6-0, 210, SR-3L) became the first player to lead the Rebels in rushing three consecutive seasons since Michael Morton in the late 1970s. If Cornett becomes the first to do it four times, he figures to also supplant the legendary Mike Thomas (3,149 yards in 1973-74) as the program’s all-time leading rusher. In 2012, Cornett posted the fifth-hightest total in school history with 1,232 yards and is the clear leader in the backfield. The tough Texan needs 701 yards to pass Thomas and will start the 2013 season as the leading active FBS running back with 11 career 100-yard rushing games as only a pair of quarterbacks has more among all returning players. During the off-season, the only other tailback that got a carry a year ago became the third Rebel ever to leave school early as Bradley Randle (635 yards) gave up his eligibility to sign a NFL free-agent deal with Minnesota. That makes it a certainty that there will be a lot of new faces getting handoffs in the fall. With Cornett taking off the spring to heal up, Adonis Smith (5-11, 200, JR-TR) got the bulk of carries and the former Northwestern transfer should be a prominent feature in the offense. The only player on the roster to have played in a bowl game, Smith offers some good experience to help off-set the relatively green set of high-ceiling signees expected to battle for time. HAUCK SAYS: “We’ve got a guy slotted in the No. 1 spot that will most likely leave here as UNLV’s career leader in rushing yards and he’ll likely be fighting for carries with three or four other guys. We are not worried about the running back spot missing a beat, we have some guys coming in the fall that we think can contribute.” CORNETT

OFFENSIVE LINEMEN

Not a single senior is listed up front and the only two spots on this side of the ball that don’t return a starting player are both along the offensive line -- but there are signs that this unit may be more of an asset than at any time during the Hauck era. The two biggest names here did not even compete in spring ball but that only allowed others a chance to gain field time as much-needed depth continues to develop. Look for a bounce-back year from Brett Boyko (6-7, 310, JR-2L) at left tackle as the big Canadian is on target to be 100 percent healthy after starting just four games as a sophomore, which followed being named a second team Freshman All-American in 2011. Despite sitting out all of spring practice, Boyko will man the spot and allow last year’s returning starter at the position -- Cameron Jefferson (6-6, 300, JR-2L) -- to move back to his intended slot of right tackle. Relative youngsters Andrew Oberg (6-7, 280, SO-1L) and Alex Novosel (6-6, 270, SO-SQ) are the first wave of backups. Injuries on the line pushed Ron Scoggins Jr. (6-3, 335, SO-1L), the son and namesake of a former Rebel lineman, into starting duty at left guard as a true freshman last fall and he will only get better with a season, and now a spring, under his belt. Right guard is an interesting WATERMAN competition. Veteran Brian Roth (6-5, 300, JR-2L) was repeatedly cited by coaches for having one of the best springs on the team and will look to get his first significant time this season. First, however, he’ll have to beat out young Nick Gstrein (6-4, 285, SO-1L) as the former tight end moved down the line to this spot and did enough during spring to continue the experiment into fall camp. Walk-on Brad Overand (6-6, 280, SR-2L), the only senior listed on the post-spring two-deep, adds depth. Joining Boyko in sitting out spring while rehabbing was Rimington Award Watch List member Robert Waterman (6-2, 290, JR-2L). The two-time honorable mention All-Mountain West center has started all 25 games of his Rebel career and will be counted on to be the man in the middle again in 2013. Junior college signee C.J. Backlund (6-4, 285, JR-TR) was listed at No. 2 even before he set foot on campus. HAUCK SAYS: “We’ve lived through playing a lot of freshmen and sophomores the last couple of years. Even though we don’t have seniors, it is an experienced and physical group that we expect to be a strength. Not having Boyko and Waterman (for spring practice) inhibited their personal development but as a team allowed us to get a substantial number of plays for some of our younger and less experienced guys. Playing time at both guard spots is going to be hotly contested and that’s going to make us better. The tackle spots will be too, but some younger guys are going to have to come along to make that happen. Brian Roth has done a nice job. He is a prime example of our guys that are growing up. Guys not playing a lot until they’re juniors is the way it’s supposed to be in a program that has a sound recruiting structure. We have good players here that have a chance to have good seasons over the next couple of years.”

#RE BE27 LSUNIT E D

TIGHT ENDS/ FULLBACKS/H-BACKS

It’s not hard to figure out why fans should expect to see the tight ends become a bigger part of the Rebel offense starting this September -- it’s because the program finally has some to work with. Jake Phillips (6-6, 255, SO-1L) started all 13 games as a freshman a year ago and finished third on the team with 23 receptions for 232 yards a score. All of those totals could go up while stillgrowing redshirt Andrew Price (6-6, 240, FR-RS) looks to become a target. Taylor Barnhill (6-4, 240, JR-2L) has lined up all over the field (QB, TE, H, LB) during his career and is now a veteran presence at H-back after catching 14 passes for 106 yards and two TDs in 2012. Tyler Bergsten (6-4, 240, SO-1L) got his feet wet last year and will push for time. Last year’s primary fullbacks, William Vea (6-0, 250, JR-2L) and Max Johnson (6-1, 240, SR-3L) are also back. HAUCK SAYS: “We’re excited about our young tight ends and their potential. It’s probably our youngest – along with our secondary – group and they need to perform but they do look the part. It’s nice to have some tight ends because we want to use that in our offense. Schemewise, that may be the biggest difference to our team now as compared to when we got here.”

WIDE RECEIVERS

SULLIVAN

DAVIS

The Rebels return their top seven pass catchers from the 2012 season and lose only 10 percent of their total receptions last fall (25 out of 250). Leading the way is Devante Davis (6-3, 210, JR-2L), who set career highs with 61 catches for 854 yards last season as a sophomore. The tall target ranked second in the Mountain West with 65.7 yards per game and had monster games at LA Tech (186 yards) and against New Mexico (145). Another junior, speedster Marcus Sullivan (5-9, 195, JR-2L) was right behind Davis on the stats board with 55 receptions for 659 yards and four trips to the end zone. They’ll be joined by Anthony Williams (5-11, 190, SO-1L--22 catches for 337 yards), who showed flashes as a rookie, and a player in position to make his first real impact, veteran WR Taylor Spencer (6-1, 210, JR-2L--9 for 116). Quarterback Caleb Herring had 18 grabs for 136 yards after moving over as a junior and is available to play here as well, if needed.

HAUCK SAYS: “We have some players in this group that have filled critical roles in the past as underclassmen. We need them to refine their play and become established playmakers in both the run and pass game. They’ve shown a willingness to be avid participants in the run game, which shows me they are evolving. I like our guys.”

THE DEFENSE With nine starters back from last year’s unit and an influx of big bodies up front, the pieces seem to finally be falling into place for what has been a total rebuild of the defense under this staff. “We were sound physically,” Hauck says of his defense during spring, which was the first involving his brother, Tim, who was known for his technique and tenacity during his pro career. “I think the tackling improved and we want to keep working on that so that we’re the best tackling team on the field whenever we play.”

DEFENSIVE LINEMEN

Undermanned a year ago, the line has plenty of candidates to help shore up the defense this fall. At the end spots, still-growing youngster Sonny Sanitoa (6-3, 260, SO-1L) is back after leading the team in sacks with five in just nine games played as a freshman. Former tight end Jordan Sparkman (6-6, 265, JR-2L) is the other listed starter coming out of spring while another good-looking sophomore Jeremiah Valoaga (6-5, 245, SO-1L) and midyear JC transfer Siuea Vaesau (6-3, 250, JR-TR) are also in the rotation. In the middle, senior leader Alex Klorman (6-2, 285, SR-3L), who will wear the Battle Born Jersey No. 36 this fall, mans one tackle spot while former JC signee Mark Garrick (6-4, 280, SR-1L) is penciled in at the other. Veteran Tyler Gaston (6-3, 295, SR-3L) and another midyear junior college addition, Pingi Moli (6-4, 270, JR-TR) are also in the mix of what could be the deepest Rebel D-line in a decade. HAUCK SAYS: “The defensive line for the first time is solid in the twodeep and has a chance to be a real strength for our team. We have some veteran leadership and some good, young talent. We need to continue to develop as pass-rushers. I think we play the run very well and are going to continue to develop in SANITOA GARRICK the pass game.”

LINEBACKERS

With John Lotulelei and his team-leading 120 tackles off to the NFL (signing a free-agent deal with Seattle), it seems odd that this is actually the squad’s most-senior group. The strongside position is primarily manned by veteran Tim Hasson (6-2, 215, SR-3L) who ranked second on the team with 76 TT in 2012. The Las Vegas product has played in all 38 games after originally walking on to the Rebels and should provide a steadying influence on his side of the ball. Two more seniors will look to get the upper hand in the middle as UNLV’s active tackles leader Tani Maka (6-1, 250, SR-3L--70 TT in 2012/158 in career) is listed No. 1 along with late 2012 signee Max Ehlert (5-10, 220, SR-1L--29 TT), who learned the game in his home country of Finland before heading to a JC and getting his feet wet on this level last fall. The weakside position features a familiar name and number but fans will have to get to know the “new” Lotulelei wearing jersey No. 55. Tau Lotulelei (6-1, 220, FR-RS) redshirted after walking on the squad last August but has shown the same ferociousness and drive that made his older brother such an effective defender. The final senior in the top group is former walk-on running back Prince Oroke (6-1, 240, SR-1L) while a pair of redshirts that turned heads during their first spring -- Trent Langham (6-2, 210, FR-RS) and Iggy Porchia (6-2, 210, FR-RS) -- will also vie for time. HAUCK SAYS: “Linebacker is our most veteran group as it is the only place where we have a large number of seniors. We expect them to lead on that side of the ball and make plays. I think we have a good blend there. I like our seniors and our freshmen that are playing with them. We have a good number of guys battling for playing time.”

SAFETIES

While the corners are experienced, the safeties are anything but. Three sophomores and a pair of freshmen fill up the depth chart after spring. At strong safety, Peni Vea (6-1, 200, SO-1L) was a ball hawk when he was on the field as he picked up 52 tackles in just eight games. Injuries, however, kept him on the sidelines for the other third of the season and the sophomore looks to stay healthy this fall. Over at free safety, Kenny Keys (6-4, 185, SO-1L--45 TT) tied for the team lead with two picks and looks to use his tremendous size to get even more snaps this fall after earning six starts. David Greene (6-0, 200, SO-1L--11 TT) picked up some valuable time as a true freshman and is listed behind Keys while redshirts Marc Philippi (5-10, 210, FR-RS) and Jonavaughn Williams (6-0, 195, FR-RS), who spent last year as a receiver, are in a battle behind Vea. HAUCK SAYS: “Safety is the youngest position and is one of the big question marks on our team. We feel like we have good, young talent there. It’s a complex position and those guys need to be students of the game and diligent in the weight room so that they can get the job done.”

THE SPECIAL TEAMS UNLV’s only returning First Team All-MW honoree from a year ago is place-kicker Nolan Kohorst (6-0, 180, SR-3L), who is on track to shatter a serious amount of UNLV career records, including a chance to become his school’s all-time leading scorer after nailing 12 of 14 field-goal attempts a year ago. The punter spot, however, will have to be decided during camp as Nevada, Reno transfer Logan Yunker (6-2, 200, SO-TR) will try to earn the job after sitting out last season. Who will be doing the kick returns is no done deal. Marcus Sullivan averaged 23.5 YPR on kickoffs -- good for 46th in the nation -- a year ago while Tim Cornett has also proved effective over the years when lining up deep. Senior DB Eric Tuiloma-Va’a (6-0, 215, SR-3L) is a candidate to return punts. HAUCK SAYS: “We expect Nolan to have his best season at UNLV and continue to improve. We expect him to never miss at this point in his career. However, we still haven’t settled on a punter.”

CORNERBACKS

Both starting corners return and the top four candidates all saw significant playing time a year ago. Sidney Hodge (5-8, 180, SR-3L), a graduate student now wearing jersey No. 4, turned in 60 tackles and a team-leading nine passes defended as a junior. Tajh Hasson (6-1, 195, JR-2L--45 TT, 1 INT) is the half-brother of linebacker Tim Hasson and turned in one of the team’s best springs to move to the top of the depth chart. Fred Wilson (6-0, 175, SO-1L--18 TT) had two interceptions and recovered a fumble as a rookie and looks to make a big jump in year two while Kenneth Penny (5-11, 170, JR-2L--34 TT) started seven games in 2012. HAUCK SAYS: “The cornerbacks had a nice spring. Hodge played the best football of his time as a Rebel and the expectation is that he’ll have his best year. Tajh made a big move this spring. He played really physical, which is something he needed to do. Fred and Kenny are working hard every day to improve and need to continue to develop consistency to be good players.”

THE SCHEDULE Nine teams coming off bowl trips (seventh-most in the FBS in 2013) and the first two are against teams from the Big Ten and Pac-12, respectively. Not exactly the best way to ease into conference play, but that’s what the Rebels are going to face in 2013. However, the squad will have seven home games for the second consecutive year. The 46th season of UNLV football kicks off on Thursday Aug. 29 with the Rebels’ first trip to play at Minnesota. The Golden Gophers will be only the third Big Ten team to host the Rebels, following a 1998 trip to Northwestern and five trips to Wisconsin. The Rebels and Gophers also opened the 2012 season with a triple-OT thriller on a Thursday in Las Vegas. On Sept. 7, UNLV plays Arizona for only the second time and first time at home as the Wildcats’ only previous visit to Las Vegas came in the 2008 Las Vegas Bowl. One week later on Sept. 14, UNLV will host Central Michigan. The programs have met three times with UNLV winning twice. The Rebels downed CMU 33-20 in Las Vegas in 1993 while the Chips prevailed 35-23 in Mount Pleasant in 1994. The teams faced each other again later that year as UNLV defeated the MAC champs 52-24 in the 1994 Las Vegas Bowl. The Rebels have played six schools that are currently members of the MAC but this will be the first such meeting since UNLV defeated Toledo at Sam Boyd on Aug. 29, 2003. The non-conference schedule wraps up Sept. 21 as UNLV hosts Western Illinois for the first time in 36 years. The Leathernecks are the first school from the FCS Missouri Valley Conference to play the Rebels since Illinois State came in 1997. The all-time series is tied at 1-1 as WIU won 35-28 in Las Vegas in 1972, and then UNLV prevailed 59-29 at Sam Boyd Stadium in 1977. UNLV, which is a member of the new West Division, will open its league schedule by traveling to Mountain Division member New Mexico on Sept. 28 before going into a bye week. Hawai’i then comes to town on Oct. 12 before the Rebels head out for two consecutive weeks. UNLV takes on Fresno State for the first time since 1997 with a road game Oct. 19. The Bulldogs joined the MW in 2012 but the two programs did not play each other. On Oct. 26, the 39th edition of the Battle for the Fremont Cannon will be waged when the Rebels head to Nevada, Reno. UNLV will play three home games in the month of November, starting on Nov. 2 with the first matchup with new conference member San Jose State since 1997. The league’s other new member, Utah State, comes to town one week later on Nov. 9. After having to play for 13 straight weeks a year ago, UNLV will have its second bye week of the fall on Nov. 16 before playing a Thursday game at Air Force on Nov. 21. The regular-season finale will see San Diego State come to Sam Boyd Stadium on Nov. 30. “It will be a difficult start to the year versus two BCS auto-conference teams, but we will face that challenge head-on,” Hauck says. “We’re excited about the new divisional scheduling format in our league. As was the case a year ago, all of our home games should be great, exciting college football games.”

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING

Power Behind The Program MIKE GERBER

Strength & Conditioning Coach

UNLV football’s strength and conditioning program is under the guidance of veteran coach Mike Gerber. “The goal of the UNLV football strength & conditioning program is to maximize those physical traits that excellence in the sport demands,” says Gerber. “Football is a game of relatively short but extremely intense efforts requiring great power production. Because of this, the core of the program is made up of the Olympic Weightlifting movements. Run speed development and conditioning also follow the dictates of the game’s physical demands. Emphasis is placed especially on initial acceleration because most sprinting in football is relatively short. Conditioning is made up largely of position-specific movement patterns done in series of all-out effort with the quantity of work similar to a long football drive.” The Ernie Becker Sr. Strength and Conditioning Center’s 8,500-square-foot deck features all-new free weights, power racks and Olympian platforms. The 1,200-square-foot balcony level offers stretching and cardio areas. The room also features a premium sound system to further enhance the workout experience.

Weight stations cover the all-new state-of-the-art flooring inside the Ernie Becker Sr. Strength & Conditioning Center.

114 custom-made player lockers fill the Bill Ireland Locker Room inside the Lied Athletic Complex.

PAUL PUCCIARELLI Director

Now in his 29th year overseeing the equipment department for UNLV, Paul Pucciarelli says he and the school are committed to outfitting players to be both safe and stylish on the football field. “My philosophy behind equipment is that student-athletes have enough problems, that is, they have to compete in the classroom and on the field — worrying about equipment shouldn’t be a problem,” says Pucciarelli, widely known as Pooch. “Our players are lucky because of the system we have set up here. The athletic department and the university provide us a tremendous support group.” The Lied Athletic Complex’s 10,000-square-foot, two-sided equipment room gives all 17 UNLV sports the services of an immense facility designed with the student-athlete in mind. In one of 19 team and staff locker rooms, players and coaches can simply drop off their uniforms at the end of a practice or competition. The next day a clean version will be waiting for pickup in personally assigned lockers located in a wall surrounding the equipment room.

KYLE WILSON Director

Providing the best possible preventative and rehabilitative care, the UNLV football athletic training staff is headed by Director of Athletic Training Kyle Wilson, who is in his 30th year at the school. Made possible by a generous gift of $1.5 million from Marilyn and Si Redd, the Lied Athletic Complex’s athletic training facility incorporates the total scope of sports medicine over an 8,500-square-foot area. Aside from five staff offices, a rehabilitation room houses a dozen pieces of equipment including Cybex stationary bicycles, stair machines and treadmills, all under a natural skylight. The largest area features a dozen tables to offer student-athletes various treatments throughout the day. Taping, padding and bracing all take place in another all-inclusive room. Finally, an aquatic therapy room features three above-ground whirlpools surrounding a 10-feet deep pool for rehabilitative exercises.

In 2010, a stateof-the-art UBU synthetic surface was installed at a cost of $700,000. The artificial surface was originally installed in 2002 thanks to a $1 million gift from the family of Ernie Becker Sr. A completely new lighting system soon followed. Also, Bruce Bayne of Peccole Nevada and Ernie Becker Jr. helped develop an all-new grand entrance to the park, complete with pine trees, desert rocks and an archway. The palm-tree-lined area includes two full-sized practice fields. Also, Terry Manley of Champion Homes is responsible for the UNLV Football Manley Corner, which welcomes visitors, staff and student-athletes onto campus and into the heart of Rebel Football.

ighteen UNLV football players were named to the 2012 Academic All-Mountain West team, which highlighted another strong year in the classroom by the program. The Rebels, who hit double digits on the list for the seventh consecutive season, ranked second in the conference for most football players honored last year, behind only Boise State. The total number of honorees was the second-most ever recorded by the program (the high mark is 20 set in 2008). Two of the players, both hailing from Las Vegas – defensive lineman Tyler Gaston and linebacker Tim Hasson – earned the honor for the third consecutive season. In fact, academic advising for football, which boasts multiple full-time advisors, has helped produce 171 such honorees since the school joined the Mountain West in 1999. In addition, 15 Rebel gridders earned spots on the UNLV Dean’s List during 2012-13. In 2009, the program placed a player on the CoSIDA Academic AllDistrict First Team for an unprecedented third consecutive season. Flair

Rebels For A Cause

U

NLV and its student-athletes are committed to success both on and off the fields of play. Rebel players have the opportunity to become more involved members of the Southern Nevada community. Through interaction with charitable organizations, local schools, hospitals and various youth events, the Rebels have become increasingly positive role models. Each year, the athletics department’s effort in Nevada Reading Week translates into dozens of area schools being visited by nearly a 100 athletes, coaches and staff. Other programs the Rebels have recently taken part in include holiday food drives, Child Haven’s holiday party, Communities in Schools, the Santa Clothes program, KLUC Toy Drive, Opportunity Village’s Santa Run and Joy Prom.

UNLV BOASTS FOUR COMMUNITY SERVICE ALL-AMERICANS SINCE 2002 UNLV wide receiver Casey Flair was one of only 11 players in the nation named to the 2007 American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Division I-A Good Works Team. The Alaska native became the fourth Rebel in six years selected to the prestigious collection of student-athletes that has been honored for its performance off the field since 1991. Former UNLV lineman Tony Terrell (Lawndale, CA) was the program’s first-ever honoree in 2002 and two-time All-American safety Jamaal Brimmer (Las Vegas) earned the nod in 2004. Las Vegas native Leon Moore was honored in 2005. Nominated by their school’s sports information directors and voted on by an AFCA committee, successful candidates must be heavily involved in working for charity and/or service to their community.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT BOBBY HAUCK... St. Louis Rams Head Coach Jeff Fisher:

“My son played for Bobby at Montana and we have been nothing but impressed. He produces great players and successful young men. He has tremendous leadership and organizational skills. At UNLV he’ll have a great staff, he’ll recruit well and he’ll win football games.”

Former UNLV All-American and NFL QB Randall Cunningham:

“How can you not be excited about him? He’s a winner and he’s going to do great things for the program and university.”

Legendary Sports Broadcaster Brent Musburger:

“Bobby Hauck is a perfect fit for UNLV. Besides growing up in a football family, Hauck is a tireless recruiter. Montana will miss him but he left behind great memories.”

Former UCLA Head Football Coach Terry Donahue:

“UNLV is fortunate to get a proven coaching commodity such as Bobby Hauck. He has a great football background and is already a successful head coach and recruiter. He will be a tremendous fit and represent the university well.”

Montana All-American and Tennessee Titans Receiver Marc Mariani:

“I have so much respect for Coach Hauck and the way he runs a program. What he expects from you correlates not only to football, but to life in general. I am a better person, both on and off the field, because of Coach Hauck.”

St. Johns Head Basketball Coach and former UCLA co-worker Steve Lavin:

“Bobby Hauck comes with an excellent football pedigree and possesses all of the vital attributes that it will take to build the Rebel football program. He is a high-energy guy who is a relentless recruiter, a great motivator and a strong family man. He’s also an authentic person who has a way with people in the community and I have no doubt that he will succeed at UNLV.”

Bobby Hauck, who the winningest coach in Division I FCS, was hired as the 10th head coach in Rebel football history on Dec. 23, 2009, and immediately charged with spreading an attitude of success and discipline throughout a program thirsting for prosperity. Hauck (pronounced HOWK) immediately got to work rebuilding the UNLV program and guided his new school through some of the toughest schedules in history during the last three seasons. After UNLV posted three two-win campaigns, all of Hauck & Co.’s hard work in Las Vegas looks to be producing a program ready to compete in the newly expanded Mountain West this fall. Before coming to the desert, Hauck had spent the previous seven seasons as the record-setting head coach of the University of Montana where he compiled an overall record of 80-17, including leading the Grizzlies to three national championship games in the NCAA’s Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA). The winningest coach in Big Sky Conference history (both in average victories per year and overall titles), Hauck earned at least a share of the league’s crown all seven years at Montana en route to compiling a record of 47-6. The more-recent numbers were even more impressive as his records over his last four seasons were 51-6 overall and 31-1 in conference play. Hauck, 49, was named Big Sky Coach of the Year in 2006, 2007 and 2009 and AFCA Regional FCS Coach of the Year in 2006 and 2009. A veteran of eight bowl games, he also brought with him tremendous FBS experience from stints coaching in both the Pac-10 and Big 12 conferences. “The future of Rebel Football is bright,” Hauck said. “I’m excited to be a part of the process building UNLV Football into a winner. I enjoy working every day with this group of players and coaches, as well as our administration.” Hauck immediately caught the attention of his new community when he announced a 2010 recruiting class that included the most Southern

Prior to taking over his alma mater, he spent four years at the University of Washington (1999-2002) where he coached defensive backs and special teams and was considered one of the top recruiters in college football as the Huskies went to a bowl game each season. Before that he was at the University of Colorado for four seasons (1995-98) where he was the special teams and recruiting coordinator while also coaching the safeties. Prior to joining the Buffaloes, Hauck coached the outside linebackers and handled recruiting duties for Northern Arizona University (1993-94). He served as a graduate assistant at UCLA in 1990-91 under Terry Donahue and in 1992 served as the Bruins’ on-campus recruiting coordinator. Hauck began his collegiate coaching career as a volunteer assistant for Montana in 1988-89, working with the secondary and then the inside linebackers. A native of the Treasure State, Hauck was a three-sport star at Sweet Grass High School in Big Timber, Mont., and went on to twice letter in track and field at the University of Montana. His first coaching position was in 1987 as an assistant at his prep alma mater. Hauck earned bachelor’s degrees in business and physical education from Montana in 1987 and a master’s in education administration from UCLA in 1991. He and his wife, Stacey, have four children: daughters Sydney, Alexandra and Elise and son Robby. His late father, Robert Hauck Sr., coached high school football in the state of Montana for three decades and his brother, Tim Hauck, played 13 seasons as a defensive back in the NFL and joined UNLV as defensive coordinator this year after spending last season on the coaching staff of the Cleveland Browns.

PLAYER SIGNEE PROFILES 2013 UNLV SIGNING CLASS

Unlike the previous year, UNLV football head coach Bobby Hauck’s fourth recruiting class at the school included a significant amount of juniorcollege players as a list of 22 future Rebels was announced in February. “I really like the makeup of our class,” Hauck said. “We have a good blend of junior college and high school players. I think we addressed some needs with the JC guys helping fill in the veteran part of our roster while we added a good group of kids coming out of the high school ranks.” The list, which included 13 high school players and nine junior-college players, featured nine recruits that were assigned at least three stars by either Scout.com, 247Sports.com, ESPN or Rivals.com. The group included midyear JC signees but not the duo of grayshirts that signed previously and joined the program in January as true freshmen. The final makeup of UNLV’s 2013 signing class included 14 offensive players and eight on defense. The full breakdown was as follows: 4 DL, 4 OL, 4 WR, 3 LB, 3 RB, 2 TE, 1 DB and 1 QB. “We have a class that is spread out in terms of positions, being equal on offense and defense,” Hauck said. “That’s what you want to do -- make sure your board is covered.” The group consists of student-athletes whose hometowns were spread among nine states, one territory and two foreign countries: eight from California, three from Texas, two from Nevada and one each from Arizona, Hawaii, Utah, Oregon, Washington, Vermont, American Samoa, Finland and Canada. “We did really well in our normal recruiting footprint -- the West, along with the state of Texas. Having made some inroads in Texas has been very productive for us. Specifically the Houston area guys have been really good players and good students.

“We signed two locals and we’ll keep pounding Las Vegas hard,” Hauck said. “I think we offered nearly every recruit in town that is going to sign a Division I scholarship. We’ll continue to show Las Vegas kids that this is a great place to stay and play their college football.”

LAS VEGAS -- Playing late on a Thursday night in August, UNLV and Minnesota faced each other for the first time ever and helped kick off the 2012 college football season before a national TV audience. They also nearly played their way right into into the next day as the Gophers escaped with a 30-27 win in triple overtime. Debuting newly designed helmets and uniforms and hosting just the third Big Ten Conference team to ever come to Las Vegas, UNLV struck first with a 39-yard Nolan Kohorst field goal that was set up by a tipped-pass interception by Tim Hasson that he returned 44 yards. Things stayed that way until James Gillum got the Gophers on the board with a 16-yard rushing TD to end the scoring in the first half. The Rebels retook the lead when a Minnesota muffed punt (also recovered by Hasson) was converted into a Tim Cornett one-yard scoring plunge. The Gophers tied it, and then took the lead, with a pair of fourth-quarter field goals. However, the Rebels eventually sent it into overtime courtsey of a 35-yard Kohorst field goal. Playing in OT for the first time since 2008, UNLV rolled into the end zone with an 18-yard Cornett scamper. A Rebel late hit on UM QB MarQueis Gray set the Gophers up for a game-tying answer as Gray found John Rabe to extend the evening. That same combo hooked up for a 25-yard TD just minutes later before UNLV answered with a Nick Sherry to Devante Davis six-yard scoring pass on fourth down. Sherry, who was just the third freshman QB to ever start a UNLV season opener, went first in the third overtime and tossed his third interception for the game in the end zone. The Gophers then ended it with a 32-yard field goal. Cornett would finish with 127 yards and the two rushing touchdowns while Hasson had seven tackles, including a sack, to go with his two turnovers.

LAS VEGAS -- For the second consecutive week, the UNLV Rebels (0-2) lost a second-half lead as Northern Arizona (1-1) defeated UNLV 17-14. The result came down to a NAU field goal with 12 seconds left. The Lumberjacks’ Andy Wilder nailed a 33-yarder that sealed the Rebels’ fate. Despite the final score, UNLV got off to a good start. Its first score came on the opening drive as junior running back Tim Cornett broke a 42-yard run for a touchdown. Cornett went on to finish with a career-high 141 yards on 25 carries. UNLV took a 14-0 lead in the second quarter when junior running back Bradley Randle punched in a one-yard touchdown after a 17-play drive. The Rebels took their two-touchdown lead into halftime when junior college transfer Mark Garrick blocked an NAU field goal attempt from 34 yards out. It was the first time since 2008 that UNLV had shut out an opponent in the first half. In the third quarter, the Rebels’ opening drive stalled, which resulted in a punt that NAU took back for a 75-yard touchdown and changed the complexion of the game UNLV had a chance to make it a two score game again, but a 30-yard Nolan Kohorst field goal attempt hit the right upright. The Lumberjacks tied the game on the following possession, marching 80 yards on 15 plays. Freshman quarterback Nick Sherry went 16-of-29 and finished with 239 yards. He connected with fellow freshmen Jake Phillips and Anthony Williams for a combined 129 yards. Phillips finished with a team-high 69 yards on five catches and Williams notched 60 yards on two catches.

LAS VEGAS -- UNLV fought hard for its first win of the season, but came up just short as Washington State held off a late Rebel attack and won 35-27. It seemed as the Cougars were going to pick up where they left off last year, scoring the first 14 points of the game in just over 10 minutes. But the Rebels responded when Nick Sherry found Marcus Sullivan for a 37-yard touchdown. Washington State took another two touchdown advantage early in the second quarter. UNLV countered with a 22-yard Nolan Kohorst field goal, but then the fireworks began. Washington State’s Connor Halliday threw an 81-yard bomb to Marquess Wilson that would give the Cougars their largest lead of the night. On the first play of the Rebels’ next possession Sherry again found Sullivan on a 75-yard touchdown. That was the longest UNLV touchdown pass since 2009. The Rebels closed out the half with another Kohorst field goal, this one coming from 18 yards out. In the third quarter, each defense stepped up, as neither team was able to score. The Cougars opened the fourth quarter with a three-yard touchdown run to cap a 13-play drive. After trading a few punts, the Rebels were able to get back in gear, but it would prove to be a little too late. Sherry found fellow freshman Jake Phillips for a four-yard touchdown with 1:44 left in the game. The Rebels could not recover their onside kick try, but stopped the Cougars on fourth down with 40 seconds left in the game. Sherry completed two passes for 22 yard in the waning seconds, but it proved to be all for not as time expired on the Rebels’ hopes. Sherry finished the night 33-49-1 for 351 yards and two touchdowns. His 33 completions, which tied a school record, were spread out to 12 different receivers, which set a school record. Sherry’s top target was Sullivan as he finished with six catches for 136 yards. Backup quarterback, Caleb Herring, saw action, for the first time, at wide receiver and finished with five receptions for 68 yards.

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Going into Saturday night, conventional wisdom indicated Air Force’s running game would control UNLV. That logic held true for one half. Afterward, however, the Rebels used their ground game and defense to rally from an 11-point halftime deficit and beat the Falcons, 38-35. Bradley Randle rushed for three touchdowns and Tim Cornett ran for 114 yards and a score. Freshman Nick Sherry completed 23 of 32 passes for 250 yards and a touchdown, and the Rebels (1-3, 1-0 Mountain West) held off the Falcons in the final seconds at midfield. After the Rebels gave up 180 firstquarter rushing yards and trailed 14-7, they outrushed the Falcons 199-172 in the final three quarters. The Rebels trailed 28-17 at halftime before scoring 21 unanswered points on Randle scoring runs of 1 and 9 yards and William Vea’s 7-yard TD reception with 6:56 remaining. Cody Getz rushed for 113 yards and a touchdown for Air Force (1-2, 0-1), and quarterback Connor Dietz ran for 68 yards. He was 3 of 9 for 90 yards passing. The Falcons finished with 352 yards rushing. Air Force cut the UNLV lead to 38-35 on a Dietz 3-yard run with 4:41 remaining. The Rebels gambled on their next possession, going for it on fourth and inches on their 34. Sherry fell forward for 3 yards. Air Force got the ball back with 51 seconds left and no timeouts at its 25 and advanced 20 yards before running out of time. In the series, Air Force had won five straight and nine of 10. Randle’s second TD of the night was set up by an Air Force turnover, as Marc Hendricks fumbled after a 26yard reception at the UNLV 22. Kenny Brown forced the fumble, and Tani Maka recovered it. Cornett’s rush for 76 yards put the ball at the Falcons’ 2, and Randle cut the Air Force lead to 28-24.

LOGAN, Utah -- Chuckie Keeton passed for a career-high 402 yards as Utah State defeated UNLV 35-13 on Saturday. The two teams were evenly matched in the first quarter as neither squad was able to light up the scoreboard. For the Aggies, it was the first time this season that they were held scoreless in the opening stanza. Utah State took an early 3-0 lead, but UNLV responded as Nick Sherry found Max Johnson for a 3-yard touchdown. The Aggies came back and scored 17 unanswered points to take a 20-7 lead into halftime. The third quarter was owned by the Rebels as Nolan Kohorst notched two field goals to pull UNLV within seven points. The Rebel defense also held the Aggies scoreless, and has yet to allow any third quarter points this season. The Aggies opened the fourth quarter with a short screen pass to running back Kerwynn Williams, but he turned it into a 74-yard touchdown after breaking a few tackles. Utah State sealed the game with one more touchdown and a safety (the first against UNLV since 2004) before the final gun. Junior running back Bradley Randle paced the Rebels on the ground, rushing for 91. Sherry went 18-for-39 for 188 yards, and was picked off for the sixth time this season. Devante Davis set a career-high with 90 receiving yards on five catches, which matched his careerhigh. Junior linebacker Tim Hasson led the Rebels with eight tackles on defense. On the Aggies second drive of the second half, junior corner Sidney Hodge recorded his first career interception. The Las Vegas product finished the game with four tackles and a pass breakup to go with his pick.

RUSTON, La. -- Louisiana Tech used two unanswered point streaks to roar past UNLV 58-31. The Rebels fought to stay in the game in the first half, taking an early 7-3 lead after Nick Sherry found former quarterback Taylor Barnhill for his first career touchdown, of the 33-yard variety. Sherry squeezed the pass in between three Bulldogs for the score. The feat was so impressive that it was No. 3 on Sportcenter’s Top Ten plays. The Bulldogs responded, scoring 24 unanswered points, before Sherry found Devante Davis for a 27-yard score. Nolan Kohorst hit a 25-yard field goal before the end of the half to pull the Rebels to within 10 points. The second half opened with UNLV going on a six-play, 67-yard drive that was capped off with a 46-yard touchdown, as Sherry found Marcus Sullivan. But Louisiana Tech answered by scoring 31 unanswered points. The Bulldogs boasted a balanced attack, finishing with 306 rushing yards and 316 passing yards. Ray Holley and Kenneth Dixon each finished with over 100 yards on the ground, 139 and 102, respectively. UNLV scored the final points, as Sherry found Anthony Williams for a 13-yard touchdown, the first score of Williams’ career. Sherry finished with a career-high 378 yards, 186 of which went to Davis, which was also his career high. Tim Cornett led the Rebels on the ground, picking up his fourth 100-yard performance of the season with 111 yards. Senior Kenny Brown recorded a game-high 11 tackles to lead the Rebels on defense.

BRONCOS STAMPEDE PAST REBELS

LAS VEGAS -- For one half, it looked like the tables had turned in the Battle for the Fremont Cannon, but Nevada, Reno scored 28 unanswered points to win its eighth straight over UNLV. The Rebels started strong, going up 21-0 with touchdowns coming from junior Tim Cornett, junior Bradley Randle and freshman Nick Sherry. The scores came on the ground from eight yards, 32 yards and two yards, respectively. UNR then answered with a short score of its own, as Stefphon Jefferson punched in a four-yard run. The Rebels responded with a second Randle touchdown, only to be answered by Jefferson on the following drive. UNLV took a 31-14 lead into half when junior Nolan Kohorst hit a 42-yard field goal, his longest of the season. The Wolf Pack came out of the half looking to change the flow of the game, and they succeeded as they scored 28 points and didn’t allow the Rebels to continue their first-half pace. UNLV tried to make a remarkable comeback late in the game, as Marcus Sullivan hauled in a 42-yard bomb from Sherry, but after a failed on-side kick, UNR was able to secure the game. Sherry finished 21-of-35 for 243 yards and one touchdown. Sullivan posted five catches for 74 yards and one touchdown. Cornett ran for his eighth career 100-yard game, as he finished with 129 yards. Senior linebacker John Lotulelei racked up 19 total tackles, three shy of a UNLV record. The Rebels forced two turnovers, but they weren’t able to turn them into points. They also had a chance at a game-changing interception by junior Sidney Hodge in the third quarter, but it was nullified after a controversial defensive pass interference call.

BOISE, Idaho -- UNLV traveled to Boise for the first time since 1977 to test No. 22/24 Boise State. The Broncos lived up to their ranking as they posted a 32-7 win and moved to 3-0 in Mountain West play. The Rebels’ ran into the brick wall that is the Broncos’ defense, as the UNLV offense was held scoreless in the game. The visitors’ defense held strong in the first quarter, but Boise State found some holes and scored 17 points in the second quarter. D.J. Harper added one more score in the third quarter for the Broncos, who shut out their opponent in the first half for the fifth straight game. Harper paced the Broncos, rushing for 59 yards and two touchdowns. Joe Southwick finished 22-of-30 for 243 yards and one interception. UNLV’s only score of the day came on a Kenneth Penny fumble return. He scooped up a fumble forced by Sonny Sanitoa and rumbled 30 yards into the end zone. Penny added one tackle to go along with his return. That came after UNLV posted a moster 20-play drive that ended with a missed 22-yard field goal attempt by Nolan Kohorst. Junior Bradley Randle led the Rebels on the ground, rushing for 64 yards. Junior Tim Cornett added 61 yards. Freshman Nick Sherry could not get in a groove, passing for a career-low 71 yards on 14-of-31 attempts. Sophomore Devante Davis hauled in four catches for 31 yards. Senior John Lotulelei again led the Rebels on defense with 10 tackles. Junior Sidney Hodge finished with nine and junior Tajh Hasson finished with seven.

AZTECS RUSH PAST UNLV UNLV SDSU

NEW MEXICO

REBELS DOMINATE LOBOS ON HOMECOMING

SAN DIEGO -- San Diego State used 100-yard efforts from Adam Muema (143) and Walter Kazee (105) to become bowl eligible in the Aztecs 24-13 win over UNLV on Saturday. The players each had 21 carries and Kazee scored a touchdown. The Rebels took an early lead when junior Tim Cornett found a hole and took what seemed like a simple five-yard run to the house for a 64-yard touchdown. However, junior kicker Nolan Kohorst ended his streak of 62 extra points when he failed to convert the kick, keeping the Rebels at a 6-0 lead. SDSU responded, scoring the next 21 points. During that stretch, Adam Dingwell threw two touchdowns, a 25-yarder to Gavin Escobar and a 27-yarder to Colin Lockett. Kazee’s score came on a one-yard leap over the line in the second quarter. UNLV brought the game within striking distance when freshman Nick Sherry found sophomore Devante Davis for a 25-yard touchdown in the third quarter. The Aztecs made it a two-score game early in the fourth when Chance Marden hit a 28-yard field goal. UNLV’s final chance came late in the fourth, but a rare offensive passinterference call away from the ball and a six-yard sack pushed the Rebels out of field goal range. After UNLV’s punt, SDSU held onto the ball for the remaining 6:55. Cornett led UNLV, rushing for 127 yards, his sixth 100-yard rushing performance of the year. Sherry finished 17-of-29 for 159 yards and one touchdown. Davis hauled in six passes for 64 yards and one touchdown. Defensively UNLV was paced by freshman safety Kenny Keys, as he finished with 11 total tackles. The San Diego native also recorded his first career interception. Seniors John Lotulelei and Kenny Brown finished with 10 and seven total tackles, respectively, while Brown forced his fourth fumble of the season.

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Bradley Randle ran for two touchdowns and caught a scoring pass Saturday and UNLV beat New Mexico 35-7. The Rebels (2-8, 2-3 Mountain West) produced their second-biggest offensive effort of the season, tallying 530 yards. Nick Sherry was 17 of 27 for 289 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Randle finished with 113 yards on 12 carries, and his only catch of the game was a 17-yard touchdown. Tim Cornett also ran for 107 yards and a touchdown for UNLV. Sherry’s other TD was a 75-yarder to Devante Davis. New Mexico (4-6, 1-4) was held to just 43 yards passing. The Lobos’ only score came on Carlos Wiggins’ 5-yard run in the third quarter to make it 21-7 Rebels. UNLV was comfortably ahead by halftime, 21-0 -- just the third time this season the Rebels took a lead into the break. UNLV opened the game’s scoring with a nine-play drive that was culminated by a 17-yard run by Cornett, who went untouched around the right side and into the end zone. UNLV was successful on its next possession, at the start of the second quarter, as Sherry ended up connecting on the pass to Randle for a 14-0 lead. After UNLV’s defense stifled the Lobos on their next drive, New Mexico punter Ben Skaer buried the Rebels on their own 3-yard line. It wouldn’t matter, though, as Cornett erupted for 62 yards on the first play from scrimmage, putting UNLV on the Lobos’ 35-yard line. Sherry hit Caleb Herring on a 26-yard strike to put the Rebels inside the 10 on the very next play, and immediately after that, Randle burst through the left side of the line for a 9-yard scoring run to give the Rebels their three-touchdown cushion. Cornett became the third Rebel to post seven 100-yard rushing games in a single season, the first running back to do so since Ickey Woods in 1987. He also moved into a tie for fourth place on UNLV’s career list for rushing touchdowns, with 20.

RAMS FORCE TURNOVERS TO CHILL REBELS FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- Colorado State used four key UNLV first-half turnovers en route to beating the Rebels 33-11 on a snowy Saturday night. The Rams’ first score came when Shaquil Barrett intercepted UNLV freshman quarterback Nick Sherry and returned it 49 yards for a touchdown. CSU extended its lead when Shaq Bell picked up junior Bradley Randle’s first career fumble and returned it 30 yards for a score. Later in second quarter, Sherry fumbled the ball at the Las Vegas 19-yard line and CSU’s Conner Roggy picked it up. Two plays later Donnell Alexander ran in for a 10-yard score. The Rams would add a Jared Roberts field goal to go up 24-0 at half. They extended their lead when Roberts hit a 32-yard field goal in the third quarter. UNLV’s only touchdown of the game came when Sherry found junior fullback Max Johnson for a one-yard score. The Rebels started the drive with great field position after junior Eric TuilomaVa’a blocked a punt to set UNLV up inside CSU’s red zone. After the score, the Rebels elected to go for two and converted the try when Sherry found freshman Anthony Williams. The Rams’ responded as Alexander rumbled 14 yards for his second score of the night. He finished with 139 yards on 21 carries. UNLV added three more points off of a Nolan Kohorst field goal with just over four minutes remaining. Junior Tim Cornett led the Rebels with 102 yards on 20 carries, rushing for his 11th career 100-yard game. He also led the team with four catches for 21 yards. Freshman Jake Phillips hauled in two catches for 41 yards. Sherry finished 12-of-30 for 88 yards before leaving the game with an injury midway through the fourth quarter. On the defensive side, UNLV was paced by John Lotulelei as he finished with 12 total tackles.

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Following a career-performance last week, Wyoming’s Brett Smith bested that by torching the UNLV secondary, completing 25 of 33 passes for 412 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Cowboys to a 28-23 win on Saturday. Wyoming (4-7 overall, 3-4 Mountain West) has won three straight games after losing its previous four, while UNLV (2-10, 2-5) lost its second straight. The Cowboys did much of their work and all of its scoring in the first half, outgaining its host 381-182. Smith threw for 347 yards in the first half, as the Cowboys opened up a 28-17 lead at the break. The Rebels appeared ready to steal momentum late in the third quarter, as quarterback Caleb Herring scrambled into the end zone on a fake field-goal attempt. An official review revealed Herring had fumbled the ball at the 1-yard line before he and the ball tumbled into the end zone. Ruled a touchback since the ball went out of the back of the end zone, Wyoming took over on its 20. Herring was starting in place of freshman Nick Sherry, who was ruled out with a back injury before the game. The junior signal-caller finished with 268 yards on 22 of 26 pass attempts and two touchdowns. UNLV made it interesting late in the fourth quarter, driving 80 yards in 15 plays over 5:33, as Herring connected with Trey Mays on a 5-yard touchdown strike to close the gap to 28-23. The twopoint conversion failed. The Rebels held Wyoming on its next drive to a three-and-out, as Smith was sacked on first down and threw incomplete passes on second and third down. UNLV took over with 3:42 left in the game from its 21, and got into Cowboys’ territory thanks to 25- and 22-yard passes from Herring to Devante Davis during the drive. But with about 1:30 remaining, Herring’s attempt to Mays was broken up on the home sidelines, where replays revealed what might have been pass interference. UNLV outgained the Cowboys 244126 in the second half.

HONOLULU (AP) - Joey Iosefa ran for a touchdown and caught a scoring pass as Hawaii beat UNLV 48-10 on Saturday night. The Warriors (2-10, 1-7 Mountain West) snapped an eight-game losing streak while the Rebels (2-11, 2-6), who were playing for the 13th consecutive week without a break, dropped their third straight to end the season. Sean Schroeder threw for 201 yards on 13 of 24 passing without an interception for Hawaii. Iosefa carried 13 times for 56 yards and caught three passes for 51 yards. He scored on a 25yard run in the first quarter and caught a 7-yard scoring pass from Schroeder in the second quarter. Sterling Jackson and Will Gregory had a rushing touchdown each and Tyler Hadden made field goals of 23 and 26 yards for Hawaii, which also got a 38-yard interception return for a TD from John Hardy-Tuliau and a 69-yard punt return for another score from Scott Harding. Nolan Kohorst had a 43-yard field goal, and Nick Sherry found Taylor Spencer for a 5-yard touchdown pass for UNLV. Spencer finished the game with three receptions for 41 yards to lead UNLV. Devante Davis caught four passes for 40 yards. Sonny Sanitoa recorded 2.0 sacks and pushed his total to 5.0 sacks in nine games in his rookie season. The Rebels have only won twice in 11 all-time appearances on the islands and not since 2000. The two schools faced each other as conference rivals for the first time since meeting in 1996 and ‘97 as part of the Western Athletic Conference. Among FBS teams, the Warriors are UNLV’s oldest rival in football. Seven players on the Rebel roster had hometowns in Hawai’i and another player from American Samoa.

Not surprisingly, UNLV swept the league’s postseason honors with Offensive Player of the Year Cunningham, Defensive Co-Player of the Year Aaron Moog and Coach of the Year Hyde. UNLV took on an 8-2-1 Mid-American Conference Champion Toledo squad in the fourth California Bowl in front of a national ESPN audienceand the Rebels won impressively, 30-13. UNLV broke the game open with 17 third-quarter points led by Cunningham’s passing and the running of a freshman from Fresno named Elbert “Ickey” Woods. Cunningham’s 270 yards through the air helped him earn MVP honors. Just a few months later the lanky QB became a second-round choice of the Philadelphia Eagles in the 1985 NFL Draft. Woods went on to lead the nation in rushing in 1987 with 1,658 yards before “shuffling” off to Cincinnati as a second-round pick in 1988. The team reunited in 2012 as it was inducted into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame.

ppearing in its first bowl game in a decade, UNLV blasted Mid-American Conference opponent Central Michigan in the second meeting of the year between the two clubs. Playing it up for a national television audience on ESPN, the Rebels (7-5), who racked up 589 yards in offense (the most by any ’94 bowl team) jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead over the Chippewas (9-3). Not even two minutes had passed in the first quarter when Henry Bailey, the Rebels’ career receiving leader, exploded for a 46-yard touchdown reception from Jared Brown. The strike was the first of four UNLV touchdowns longer than 30 yards on the night. After the Chips pulled to 14-10, the Rebel offensive machine continued to roll and UNLV pulled away for good on a 15-yard fumble return for a TD by defensive end Keith Washington. UNLV eventually cruised to a 52-10 lead before clearing the bench. Las Vegas Bowl III MVP Bailey, soon to be a Pittsburgh Steelers draftee, rushed for 79 yards on seven carries with three TDs, and accumulated 101 yards receiving with one score. Sophomore RB DeJohn Branch had a sparkling performance, carrying the ball 13 times for 125 yards, and Brown finished the game 11-for-21 for 195 yards with two TDs and 32 yards rushing. UNLV coach Jeff Horton was named the Big West Conference Co-Coach of the Year for turning a 3-8 team in ’93 into league and bowl champions in his first season. The 1994 team was inducted into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame in 2010.

REBEL BOWL HISTORY

P

laying before a national ESPN2 audience and a Las Vegas Bowl-record 29,113 fans, UNLV (8-5) won its fourth straight for the first time since 1984 and moved to 3-0 all-time in bowl games with a surprisingly one-sided 31-14 victory over Arkansas (6-6), the Rebels’ first over a team from the powerful Southeastern Conference. UNLV quarterback Jason Thomas earned MVP honors by completing 12 of 17 pass attempts for 217 yards and three scores without an interception as well as rushing for 32 yards on 10 carries. Thomas’ favorite target was Nate Turner, who ended his career with 126 yards on eight catches – all in the first half. Jeremi Rudolph gained 92 yards on 14 carries and Kevin Brown had 78 on 13 attempts. Arkansas, which was fresh from two consecutive victories over ranked SEC opponents to become bowl eiligible, opened the scoring with the only points of the first quarter. UNLV answered with a Thomas-to-Turner 19-yard pass, which was the first TD given up by the Razorbacks in 11 quarters. Two minutes later the Hogs used Robby Hampton’s second scoring throw of the game to take a 14-7 lead. UNLV, however, struck again to square things before halftime with a five-yard Turner TD. Things stayed tied until with just over two minutes left in the third, Thomas found Troy Mason with a stunning 54-yard TD strike that was the second longest in bowl history. After a Dillon Pieffer field goal put UNLV up 24-14, the Razorbacks elected to go for it on fourth and 10 from the Rebel 37 with more than 12 minutes remaining. The UNLV defense forced an incompletion and the inspired Rebels eventually closed their shocking 24-point scoring run with an 18-yard Brown run. The Rebels out-gained the bigger Hogs, who had defeated seven straight non-conference opponents and were 6-0 vs. MW teams, 476 to 298. UNLV also held its opponent to under 200 yards rushing (115) for the 12th time in 2000. The Rebels, who moved to 2-0 in Las Vegas Bowls, earned their most victories in a season since 1984 and finished the season a perfect 6-0 at Sam Boyd Stadium. Head Coach John Robinson improved to 8-1 in bowl games during his career, which made him the winningest bowl coach in NCAA D-I history with a percentage of .889. “This is particularly gratifying because our guys were at their best,” Robinson said during the post-game celebration.

REBELS IN THE PROS CUNNINGHAM HEADS UNLV’S NFL ALUMNI Still the career passing and punting leader at UNLV, Randall Cunningham left his school as its most accomplished player and went on to become one of the top quarterbacks in NFL history. Before Michael Vick and Donovan McNabb there was Randall. A national figure who broke the racial barrier at his position, Cunningham augmented his cannon arm and booming punting leg by redefining the running ability of a pro quarterback and left as the league’s all-time rushing QB with 4,928 yards. Rising to stardom with the team that drafted him 37th overall in 1985 - Philadelphia - Cunningham went on to play 11 seasons with the Eagles, three with the Vikings, one with the Cowboys and his final two with the Ravens. The four-time Pro Bowl invitee won Most Outstanding Player honors in the 1989 game after leading the NFC to a 34-3 blowout. Joining Johnny Unitas as the only three-time winners of the Bert Bell Award, which goes to the league’s top player, Cunningham was also named the NFL Player of the Year in 1998 after leading Minnesota to the league’s best record and engineering what was the highest scoring offense in history. The Las Vegas resident retired, symbolically, as an Eagle, in 2002 but still ranks in the top 40 in league annals in passing yards, TDs and completions.

Although most famous for his time with the Eagles, Randall Cunningham won NFL Player of the Year honors while leading the Vikings.

September 22 UNLV shuts out a conference opponent for only the second time in history while also breaking an 11-year losing skid in league openers. Powered by Frank “The Tank” Summers’ 190 rushing yards, the 27-0 victory was the first over Utah since 1979. October 13 UNLV hosts its school-record third sellout of the season and the biggest-ever crowd to see it play a conference opponent at home when 38,026 watch BYU win 24-14. UNLV would break multiple attendance records on the year, including playing in front of an average crowd of 29,281.

Wonder of Waco: Remembering “The Return” Did it really happen? Did 1999’s most memorable play in college football really take place on a muggy Sept. 11 night in Waco, Texas? Did UNLV really pull off something never before done to start 2-0 on the road for the first time in 25 years? Yes. Yes. And, surprisingly – no make that inexplicably, yes. UNLV made history by becoming the first team to win a college football game on the last play while trailing and without the ball. And it all happened because of one team’s intention to run up the score and another team’s refusal to allow it.

Host Baylor was leading the Rebels 24-21 with eight seconds left when it ran a rushing play to attempt to score again instead of simply downing the ball to end the game. After Bears running back Darrell Bush was stood up at the oneyard line by the Rebel defense, LB Tyler Brickell managed to force a fumble. DB Kevin Thomas picked up the ball in the end zone and, with no time on the clock, raced more than the length of the field to score his team’s winning points as UNLV prevailed 27-24. The shocking video showed up on everyone’s highlight show while UNLV announcer Tony Cordasco’s now-famous radio call repeatedly played

across the nation. It was only the third time in NCAA FBS history that a fumble had been returned 100 yards (interestingly, the second time came against UNLV at Rice just four games earlier in ‘98). In 2007, the play ranked 85th in ESPN.com’s Top 100 Defining Plays in College Football History.

Tyler Brickell (No. 48) stripped Baylor RB Darrell Bush just outside the end zone.

Kevin Thomas (No. 28) picked up the fumble and sprinted 100 yards the opposite way.

Thomas took the ball 100 yards and UNLV moved to 2-0.

“I started to walk over toward the middle of the field to (Baylor’s) bench,” UNLV Head Coach John Robinson said. “I knew (BU coach Kevin Steele) was in shock. They didn’t move. Their whole bench was just standing there like a painting.’’

UNLV FOOTBALL HISTORY 1999

2000

December 4 LB Beau Bell is named MW Defensive Player of the Year after leading the league with 126 tackles and five forced fumbles to go along with four interceptions. He would become the fourth Rebel ever invited to play in the Senior Bowl and be the first pick of the Cleveland Browns (fourth round) in the NFL Draft.

2008

January 8 OL Matt Murphy becomes UNLV’s second player in as many years named to the Football Writers Freshman All-America Team. January 12 UNLV football sends four representatives to the Hula Bowl all-star game: coaches Mike Sanford, Todd Berry and Vic Shealy and PK Sergio Aguayo. September 13 In the first-ever meeting between the programs from neighboring states, UNLV travels to Tempe and stuns No. 13 Arizona State 23-20 when Malo Taumua blocks a Sun Devils’ field-goal attempt in overtime. It marks the second-highest ranked win in program history and its first OT victory since 2004. September 20 UNLV becomes the eighth school in history to earn back-to-back overtime victories with a 34-31 home thriller over Iowa State. Omar Clayton hits freshman sensation Phillip Payne in the end zone during UNLV’s first offensive play in the extra period to give the Rebs their first win in five career meetings with the Cyclones.

November 25 Former Rebel RB Dominique Dorsey is named the CFL Special Teams Player of the Year while starring for the Toronto Argonauts.

2009

April 26 Frank “The Tank” Summers is a fifth-round pick by the defending Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers, making him the first Rebel running back to be selected in the NFL Draft since Ickey Woods 21 years earlier. April 30 Former Rebel field leader and AD John Robinson becomes the first UNLV player or head coach to be voted into the College Football Hall of Fame. October 24 With 11 catches in a win at New Mexico, Ryan Wolfe passes San Diego State’s J.R. Tolver in becoming the MW’s all-time leader in pass receptions. He eventually rises as high as 12th on the NCAA’s all-time list with a final tally of 283 en route to becoming the program’s third-ever threetime first team allconference honoree.

December 23 Just two days before Christmas, newly hired athletics Phillip Payne’s director Jim “The Catch” Livengood Wolfe Man introduces Bobby Hauck as UNLV’s 10th head coach in history. Hauck moves to the FBS after a record-setting seven-season Phillip Payne’s run at the University of Montana and assembles an entirely new “The Catch” coaching staff.

October 10 Casey Flair passes Damon Williams for first place on the UNLV career receptions list with a catch at BYU. Flair, who would become the first four-year player in school history to record at least one catch in every game of his career (47), would see his reception record stand for only weeks before teammate Ryan Wolfe takes over the top spot. November 22 Despite a loss at SDSU that keeps the Rebels from going bowling, UNLV ties with Ohio State for the national lead in red-zone scoring at 95 percent, including earning points in its first 25 trips of the season inside the 20-yard line. Ryan Wolfe becomes UNLV’s career leader in receptions (209) and receiving yards (2,735) with his school-record 10th career 100-yard receiving effort.

September 1 UNLV opens ESPN’s season of coverage in Prime Time, traveling to play No. 11/10 Wisconsin as part of a special Thursday night matchup that was also shown in 3-D. November 5 The Rebels renew a long-dormant series, hosting Boise State for the first time since The Bicentennial. The fifth-ranked Broncos become the secondhighest ranked team to play in Las Vegas and quarterback Kellen Moore sets the NCAA record for career victories with his 46th win. October 29 Las Vegan Phillip Payne breaks UNLV’s career touchdown reception record with two scores in a thrilling 38-35 win over CSU. Payne’s 25th career TD came on a 31-yard catch and score and moved him past Henry Bailey, whose record had stood for 17 years.

2012

April 24 Rebel center Joe Hawley goes higher in the NFL Draft than any offensive lineman in UNLV history when he is selected by the Atlanta Falcons in the fourth round.

August 30 Kicking off a season that features 13 consecutive games without a bye, UNLV takes on Minnesota for the first time and goes three overtimes before falling to the Gophers. Quarterback Nick Sherry becomes the third freshman quarterback to start an opener in school history.

September 5 The Bobby Hauck Era opens with the Rebels meeting No. 12 Wisconsin in front of a crowd of 31,107, which marked the 12th-largest home crowd in UNLV history. The No. 12 Badgers, who would go on to play in the Rose Bowl, score 24 unanswered third-quarter points to win 41-21.

November 3 Running back Tim Cornett rushes for 107 yards on just nine carries in the Rebels’ 35-7 victory over New Mexico. It marks the junior’s seventh of eight 100-yard games in a monster season that sees him finish with 1,232 yards on the ground.

REBEL AWARD WINNERS 2007 MW DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR Beau Bell was a dominant force on his side of the ball in 2007, leading the league with 126 total tackles and five forced fumbles to go with 9.5 TFL and 3 sacks. He also led the team with four interceptions, including one at Wyoming that he returned for his first career TD. Bell became the first player in MW history to be named defensive player of the week three times in one season and left UNLV ranked second in all-time tackles with 320. The fourth Rebel ever to be invited to play in the Senior Bowl, Bell had eight double-digit tackle games as a senior and went on to become the top draft pick of the Cleveland Browns. 2006 MW FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR Ryan Wolfe’s first game as a collegian saw him catch six balls for 160 yards, including a 71-yard touchdown sprint. The rookie later proved it was no fluke when he hauled in nine receptions for a MW-freshmanrecord-tying 176 yards vs. New Mexico. He also posted 108 yards vs. Air Force to close the campaign. Named First Team Freshman All-America by the Football Writers Assoc. of America, Wolfe was UNLV’s first first team allconference receiver since 1997 after becoming the first freshman to ever lead the conference in receiving yards (911), which ranked 26th nationally. 2002 & 2003 MW DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR Hometown hero Jamaal Brimmer exploded onto the scene as a sophomore in 2002, including leading the MW with 17 tackles for loss and a squadleading 5.5 QB sacks. Hence, he was the pick of both the coaches and media for league MVP honors in. One year later, his stats only improved as he led the league with six interceptions and four forced fumbles, which led to two key defensive scores. His eye-popping day in leading his team to an upset of Wisconsin got him national defensive player of the week honors and helped him become a semifinalist for the Thorpe Award and repeat as the consensus defensive MVP of his conference, despite being snubbed by MW coaches. 2001 MW FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR ‘Nique the Streak burst on to the scene with a scintillating 87-yard kickoff return vs. Northwestern in his first career attempt. Nine returns later he had broken the school record for season average at 36.4. Despite injuries, he displayed similar bursts at tailback and led the team with a 6.6-yard average, including TD runs of 56 and 40 yards. Against UNR, he set a league rookie record by gaining 180 yards on just 18 carries.

2001 MW DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR The school’s first Division I AllAmerican on his side of the ball, cornerback Thomas wrapped up perhaps the finest defensive career in Rebel history by breaking the school and MW single-season record for interceptions with seven, leading the nation in both interception return yardage and defensive scoring after taking three balls back for touchdowns while also pacing the league in passes defended with 17. 1998 WAC FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR (PACIFIC DIVISION) A true Hawaiian warrior, Sunia became the first freshman in school history voted team captain and went on to start all 11 games at MLB. Named First Team Freshman All-America by Football News after leading his team with 115 total tackles, Sunia would gain 119 takedowns a year later but spend his final two seasons suffering from various injuries that would keep him from breaking UNLV’s career tackle record. 1996 WAC FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR (MOUNTAIN DIVISION) Turning in arguably the best season by a freshman QB in FBS history, Denton shattered 10 NCAA freshman records and 10 other school marks for a team that won only one game. His nine 200-yard passing games included a school-record 503-yard performance vs. SDSU while his 3,591 yards and 25 TDs passing JON DENTON were NCAA single-season records for a frosh. On pace to shatter every conceivable UNLV passing record, the DENTON-ATOR would play only one more season before transferring to Eastern Kentucky. 1987 PCAA OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR Saving the best for last, Elbert “Ickey” Woods gained only 267 yards his first three seasons. As a senior he proceeded to lead the nation in rushing with 1,658 yards on 259 carries (6.4 YPC) and put in 10 touchdowns. He tied a school record with seven consecutive 100-yard games, including an incredible three straight over 200. The next spring he would become the highest drafted Rebel in history at No. 31 overall and go on to lead the Cincinnati Bengals to the Super Bowl behind his signature Ickey Shuffle.

1984 PCAA CO-DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR The complete package along the line with superb speed, agility and aggressiveness, Moog led one of UNLV’s best-ever defenses by totaling 63 tackles, including six for loss, six sacks and three pass breakups. The Rebels flirted with the national rankings by winning their first league title and bowl championship en route to an 11-2 overall mark.

JOHN ROBINSON

JEFF HORTON

HARVEY HYDE

2000 MWC CO-COACH OF THE YEAR Just a year after taking over a program that posted its first-ever winless season, Robinson led the Rebels to their most wins since 1984 (8-5) and victory over Arkansas in the Las Vegas Bowl. Despite the amazing turnaround, Robinson shared his award with MW champion Colorado State leader Sonny Lubick. 1994 BIG WEST CO-COACH OF THE YEAR Under a first-year head coach, the Rebels rebounded from a 3-8 record to shock the league and earned a three-way tie for the Big West championship with a 5-1 record. Winning the tiebreaker, UNLV earned the Las Vegas Bowl bid and crushed Central Michigan 52-24. Horton shared his award with Pacific head man Chuck Shelton. 1984 PCAA COACH OF THE YEAR The most successful Rebel squad since moving to division one, Hyde’s 1984 Rebels were 11-2 overall and 7-0 in the Pacific Coast Athletic Association. The season, which culminated with a 30-13 victory over Toledo in the California Bowl, also produced the school’s first league coach of the year award.

1983 & 1984 PCAA OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF YEAR The first two-time league MVP for the Rebels, Randall Cunningham was an All-American punter and future NFL star at quarterback. The school’s career passing leader threw for 2,545 yards, 18 TDs and only 8 INTs in 1983 and followed that up with 2,628 yards, 24 TDs and 10 INTs in a senior campaign RANDALL that saw his team finish 11-2, inCUNNINGHAM cluding winning the PCAA title and California Bowl. The next spring, he would be drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles with the 37th pick and go on to a sterling 15-year pro career.

REBEL ALL-AMERICANS RANDALL CUNNINGHAM Punter/Quarterback

Although he is now known for being the NFL’s all-time leading rushing quarterback, Santa Barbara, Calif., native Randall Cunningham (1981-84) won his national collegiate honors at his other position – punter. Still the Rebels’ leader for punting average in a game (58.0), season (47.5) and career (45.6), Cunningham would own the second-best career punting average in college football history if he had punted just eight more times during his three years on the field. Touted as a Heisman Trophy candidate for his lethal combination of talent throwing, running and punting the ball, Cunningham was named first team All-America in 1983 (as well as honorable mention QB by AP) and second team in 1984, making him UNLV’s first two-time All-American since the school moved to Division I in 1977. He would go on to be the 37th pick in the 1985 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles and was named the 1998 NFL Player of the Year as a Minnesota Viking QB.

JOE INGERSOLL

Defensive Lineman

One of only four repeat All-Americans in UNLV history, Joe Ingersoll (197375) also was the first defensive player from the Rebels so honored. The Salt Lake City native played his freshman year at Utah before transferring to the desert and performing as a dominant defensive lineman for three years. As a junior, “Big Joe” led the undefeated 1974 UNLV team in tackles with 105, including four sacks, and was tabbed an AP Div. II Second Team All-American. As a senior, the terrific tackle earned first team honors from the AFCA and would go on to become a seventh round choice by the Miami Dolphins in the 1976 NFL Draft. In 1987, Ingersoll was a member of the inaugural UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame.

JIM SANDUSKY Wide Receiver

Although his UNLV career was brief, San Diego native Jim Sandusky (1981) turned in the greatest receiving year in school history during his one year on campus. Catching balls from the arm of QB Sam King as part of head coach Tony Knap’s free-wheeling offense, Sandusky hauled in 68 passes (17 more than any previous Rebel) for 1,346 yards, which is still a school record. Despite playing in only 12 games, Sandusky remains tied for second at the school with eight career 100-yard receiving games. Such output would earn him Second Team All-America honors. However, with Knap retiring, Sandusky would transfer to San Diego State and go on to a distinguished career in the NFL and Canadian Football League.

The bluest of Blue Chip recruits out of Greenville, Texas, Mike Thomas 1973-74, signed on with the University of Oklahoma but soon left Norman to ride his way West and right into the Rebel – and national – record books. His two seasons in Las Vegas were nothing less than stunning. As a junior in 1973, he scored a school-record 20 touchdowns and led the nation in rushing yards with 1,741, which was just 35 short of the then-NCAA single-season record. A year later, Thomas added 1,408 yards and 17 rushing scores to lead the Rebels to their only undefeated regular season and a Div. II ranking as high as No. 2 before losing in a national semifinal game. His still-UNLV-best career totals were 3,149 yards and 37 TDs born from a 6.6-yards-per-carry average. Both seasons resulted in AFCA First Team All-America nods for UNLV’s first true football star to make him the only two-time first-teamer in Rebel history. Thomas would go on to complete a fine NFL career with the Washington Redskins and San Diego Chargers.

REBEL ALL-AMERICANS JAMAAL BRIMMER Safety

2004 Sporting News-2nd Team AP-3rd Team 2003 Football News-1st Team

The first non-senior to earn All-America at UNLV since Randall Cunningham in 1983, Jamaal Brimmer (2001-04) also became the first non-punting first team honoree for the Rebels since 1975. The hometown hero introduced himself to the nation early in the season with the greatest single defensive performance in school in leading his team to a major upset at Wisconsin on national TV. Brimmer’s phenomenal day, which included 11 tackles, two interceptions, one fumble return for a TD and two quarterback sacks, earned him the Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week honors. The free safety, who would be voted the school’s first two-time consensus league MVP in his career, led the MW with six interceptions and four forced fumbles to go with three sacks and four fumble recoveries in 2003. The first UNLV semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award became the school’s first two-time All-American since Cunningham with nods from AP and The Sporting News as a senior. That followed being named a community service All-American as a member of the 2004 AFCA Good Works Team.

JOE KRISTOSIK

Joe Kristosik (1995-98) was a bright light through the program’s only winless season in 1998. He walked on to his hometown team in 1994 and five years later walked away as the school’s first and only consensus First Team All-American. Kristosik was the first Rebel booter to lead the nation in punting with a 46.2-yard average, which was the second-highest in NCAA history with a minimum of 75 attempts. Along the way, he turned in perhaps the greatest performance ever by a collegiate punter when he had 13 tries at BYU with eight going longer than 50 yards and a stunning four traveling at least 60 yards, including two season-long kicks of 67 yards. Kristosik became the first-ever UNLV member of the prestigious Walter Camp Football Foundation team. Kristosik was inducted into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame in 2008.

Making a strong bid as being the best defensive player in school history, Kevin Thomas (1998-2001) turned on the gas to close out his stellar career and become the first Rebel on his side of the ball to earn All-America since 1975. Holder of various school and conference records, KT came to Las Vegas from Sacramento as a scrawny and unheralded defensive back but left as one of the best cover men in the nation en route to being tabbed third team All-America by Football News and fourth team by The Sporting News. The second three-time first team all-conference player in Rebel history, his seven picks as a senior broke the UNLV and MW record for a single season as he led the nation in interception return yardage (213) and defensive scoring (18 points). An iron man who never missed a start in four seasons (UNLV-record 46 overall), his six career touchdowns highlighted a school-record 55 career pass breakups. The Jim Thorpe candidate and MW Defensive Player of the Year played in both the Senior Bowl and East-West Shrine Game before being selected by the Buffalo Bills in the NFL Draft. Thomas was inducted into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame in 2012.

A transfer from Glendale (Calif.) Junior College, Brad Faunce (1993-94) used his powerful leg to post an impressive two-year career at UNLV. His junior season included a 45-yard punting average that earned him Second Team All-America honors. Also the squad’s kickoff man in 1994, Faunce’s memorable 91-yard punt vs. UNR was not only a school record, but also helped the Rebels upset the Wolf Pack to win the Big West Conference title and a berth in Las Vegas Bowl III.

Brian Parvin (1991-92) became UNLV’s first All-American in seven years when he was named to Football News’ second team as a senior. A transfer from Mt. San Antonio Junior College in Walnut, Calif., Parvin turned in a fine junior campaign with a 41.9-yard punting average, which was good for 18th in the nation. His senior year, however, produced the second-highest season number in school history with 46.3 – the third-best average in the nation in 1992.

Boyd School of Law, UNLV is also becoming a leading research institution of the West. The school’s scientific, social science, and business programs attract millions of dollars in research grants annually to fund projects in desert biology, nuclear waste transportation, laser physics, public opinion surveys and many others.

< THE U N I V E R S I T Y > 176


With its Performing Arts Center, the campus is the cultural hub of Southern Nevada. World-class orchestras and soloists, dance and theater arts combine to provide a broad selection of concerts and stage productions. The Barrick Lecture Series and several campus organizations bring noted speakers to the University, and local and visiting artists show their works in the Donna Beam Fine Art Gallery. UNLV has excellent athletic facilities as well, many open for student and public use. Opened in 1957 as the southern regional division of the University of Nevada with a total of 28 students, UNLV now is home to more than 27,000 students coming from every county in Nevada, all 50 U.S. states and 88 countries. Much of UNLV’s tremendous expansion is the result of support from the Nevada Legislature and the state’s taxpayers. Private donors have played an important role as well. These gifts support new facilities and programs and, most important, provide the scholarship incentives that bring Nevada’s best and brightest student scholars to campus. UNLV operates an on-campus Center for Business and Economic Research, Center for Economic Education, Harry Reid Center for Environmental Studies (in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency), Desert Biology Research Center, Center for Survey Research, Nuclear Waste Transportation Research Center and other research and public-service centers. Offering 103 undergraduate programs and 123 graduate tracts, UNLV graduated a class of 5,500 last year. The University operates on a semester system and is a member of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, the Council of Graduate Schools, the American Council of Education and the Western College Association. All of the University’s academic programs are fully accredited by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges, and many programs have received further accreditation from independent national accreditation bodies.

SMATRESK

Dr. Neal J. Smatresk was appointed president of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas on Aug. 6, 2009. Today, he leads a campus that is committed to serving Nevada by creating an educated workforce and forging community and business partnerships to move our state economy forward. Under his leadership, the central role UNLV plays in creating a prosperous future by providing an affordable, superior education and nationally recognized scholarship has been a consistent theme. Smatresk emphasizes UNLV’s role as a first-choice, Tier 1 institution dedicated to educational access and success for diverse students. Under Smatresk’s direction, UNLV established the Academic Success Center, which is living up to its name by helping students identify the right majors, succeed in their classes, and graduate on time. Student athletes are advised through the center, and are excelling academically. UNLV is a collaborative university that crosses internal and external boundaries. A testament to Smatresk’s vision is a new Collaborative Research and Education initiative an UNLV’s partnership with the highly respected Brookings Institution to establish Brookings Mountain West, the national think tank’s first foray this side of the Mississippi. Through a recently formed UNLV Campus Improvement Authority, Smatresk is working with the community through a public-private partnership to create a world-class stadium that will enhance campus life and bring new major entertainment opportunities to Las Vegas. Through these and other community partnerships, and a commitment to respond to the state’s workforce demands, UNLV is driving research and innovation needed to diversify the region’s economic base and provide critically needed services for a dynamic region. Smatresk is a scientist by training and received his Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Texas at Austin in 1980. Following post-doctoral work at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Smatresk joined the University of Texas, Arlington (UTA) department of biology in 1982. In his 22 years at UTA, he served as chair of biology and dean of science, until his appointment as the chief academic officer at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in 2004. During his time there, Hawaii’s flagship university entered the ranks of the top 25 federally funded institutions, gained three National Academy of Science members, and received recognition from the Chinese Ministry of Education as a Confucius Institute. His career at UNLV began in 2007 as executive vice president and provost, where he was responsible for the leadership and administration of all academic and research programs, spanning 15 colleges and two professional schools. President Smatresk has received numerous teaching awards, and his research in cardio respiratory physiology has resulted in more than 50 papers and book chapters and grants from the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health. His undergraduate alma mater, Gettysburg College, awarded him its Distinguished Alumnus of the Year Award in 2011.

KUNZER-MURPHY

Born and raised in Las Vegas, Tina KunzerMurphy has been a fixture in the Southern Nevada sports community for more than four decades. On July 1, 2013, she added another accomplishment to her long and varied career as she began serving as UNLV Interim Director of Athletics. The move, announced by UNLV President Neal Smatresk on May 20, marked two major milestones as Kunzer-Murphy became both the first woman and the first alum of the school to oversee the department. “Tina Kunzer-Murphy has agreed to step into the role of interim athletic director on the heels of Jim Livengood’s retirement,” Smatresk said. “Tina brings a wealth of experience to UNLV and I am truly grateful that she will be serving in this critical role.” A graduate of Valley High School, KunzerMurphy first attended Southern Utah, where she lettered in swimming, before transferring to UNLV to compete in both tennis and volleyball at her hometown university. She earned her bachelor’s degree in physical education from the school in 1975. While pursuing a graduate degree she served as a tennis instructor and dance teacher at both UNLV and Clark County Community College (now CSN). Soon after earning her master’s in education in 1977, she was hired as head coach of the UNLV women’s tennis team as well as director of its cheerleading program. When the school dropped tennis for financial reasons in the early 1980s, she was thrust into a management role under then-athletics director Brad Rothermel, and eventually worked with the football and basketball programs, among others, during the department’s wildly successful run through the PCAA/Big West Conference. Named UNLV’s

Senior Women’s Administrator in 1981, KunzerMurphy oversaw the entire Lady Rebel athletic program, as well as various support groups such as the Rebel Football Foundation, the Rebel Golf Foundation and the Women’s Sports Foundation, which she helped create. In 1983, she was named an assistant athletics director and in 1987 was promoted to senior assistant AD. Kunzer-Murphy became senior associate AD at the University of Pacific in 1992 but then soon returned to town to work for the Las Vegas 51s and Thunder professional sports franchises as director of corporate sales and marketing. After UNLV moved to the Western Athletic Conference in 1996, Kunzer-Murphy was hired by the WAC to run its annual football championship game and men’s and women’s basketball championship events in Las Vegas. Kunzer-Murphy returned to campus in 1999 when she was selected by ESPN Regional Television (ERT) to run the newly formed ESPN Regional at UNLV office, which oversaw the athletic department’s corporate sales and broadcasting departments until 2005. From 2000-12, Kunzer-Murphy served as Executive Director of the Las Vegas Bowl, which ERT purchased. Under her leadership, the bowl game enjoyed six consecutive sellouts from 2006-11, record-high TV ratings and team payouts en route to elevating itself into the national college football landscape A 2007 inductee of the Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame, Kunzer-Murphy in 2010 became the first woman to serve as Chairman of the Football Bowl Association.

she was honored as Las Vegas’ Sportsperson of the Year as part of the annual “24-Hour Radiothon” staged by Lotus Broadcasting, which benefits The Caring Place, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to easing the journey of those affected by cancer. Kunzer-Murphy returned to work for her alma mater in January of 2013 when she was named Director of Sponsorships and Development for the UNLV Alumni Association. She has one son, Stephen, and has been married to former UNLV coach and local high school teacher and coach Greg Murphy since 1990.

hall of fame HALL HALL OF OF FAME FAME HALL OF FAME

Class of 2012

Seven different Rebel sports were represented during ceremonies as the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2012 was honored Oct. 12, 2012. Six former Rebel standout players, one head coach and a distinguished contributor joined one team in being inducted the night before the Battle for the Fremont Cannon football game between UNLV and Nevada, Reno. Also being honored that night was former Rebel football player and current TV personality, Kenny Mayne, who received the Silver Rebel Award Born in 1987, UNLV’s Athletics Hall of Fame has now grown to 114 members strong. Under the hall’s bylaws, former student-athletes must have completed their eligibility at least 10 years earlier to be selected. Coaches and administrators must have stopped working at the University five years previous. All classes now enter on a biennial basis.

FRED ALBRECHT (1974-83, 1995, 2003) The winningest coach in UNLV tennis history, led the Rebel netters and compiled a record of 230-80 for a winning percentage of .742. A longtime administrator on campus, Albrecht was called upon to serve as Interim Athletics Director in both 1995 and 2003 during searches for permanent replacements. He retired from UNLV in 2007 after 38 years with a final title of vice president for university and community relations. LORENA DIACONESCU (1998-02) is arguably the Rebels women’s swimming program’s most decorated athlete. She won three consecutive Conference Swimmer of the Year awards from 2000-02 while setting school records in six separate events. Diaconescu earned All-America in 2000 and was honorable mention one year later. Winner of eight MW individual crowns as well as seven relay titles, she was also a two-time Olympian for her home country of Romania. LINDA FROHLICH (1998-02) The highest-scoring basketball player in UNLV history – men’s or women’s – finished with 2,355 points and a 21.2 PPG average in her dominating hoops career. The native of Oldendorf, Germany, was named USBWA National Freshman of the Year in 1999, AP Honorable Mention All-America as a sophomore and junior and then Third Team as a senior. EDDIE OWENS (1973-77) Still the leading Runnin’ Rebel scorer in history, was the emerging program’s second All-American in men’s basketball when he was tabbed First Team by a pair of outlets as a junior in 1976. JACINT SIMON (1998-2002) turned in a career in the water that rivaled any in school history. The Mountain West Swimmer of the Year three consecutive seasons earned All-America honors at the 2000 NCAA Championships while also being honorable mention in two relays. His fourth All-America finish came in 2002. Simon won 10 conference championships as an individual and one on a relay team and swam for his home nation of Hungary in the 2000 Summer Olympics. AMIE STEWART (1992-95) was a dominant pitcher for dominant softball program in the mid-1990s. A second team All-America selection as a senior in 1995, her 30-9 mark is still the school record for wins a season. She led her team all the way to the Women’s College World Series and tossed two complete games while finishing with a .95 ERA en route to becoming the only Rebel to be named to a WCWS All-Tournament Team. KEVIN THOMAS (1998-01) Arguably the top cornerback in school history, still holds numerous school and conference defensive records. The first player in school history to start 46 games, Thomas was the first defensive player from UNLV to earn All-America status in 26 years when he was named Third Team by Football News and Fourth Team by Sporting News. The 1984 UNLV FOOTBALL TEAM was the first of two in school history to win a conference championship and its 11-2 overall record included a victory over Toledo in the California Bowl. Going undefeated in the PCAA, the talent-rich squad featured the conference Offensive Player of the Year in All-America punter/quarterback Randall Cunningham; the Defensive Player of the Year in lineman Aaron Moog; and the Coach of the Year in Harvey Hyde. DISTINGUISHED CONTRIBUTOR MIKE MILLER is noted Las Vegas artist and illustrator. During the 1980s, Miller created and named the cartoon man with the long moustache known as “Hey Reb.” Miller was paid a single dollar for his work, which eventually helped UNLV vault to the top spot in college apparel licensing.
